Pic of the week game

Ya know? This "game" has made me realize, just how bad a photographer I really am.... Anyway. This is my Boy, and his second bike, next to my bike. His first bike, was an '08 Ninja 250...
He has been in love with my GS since I bought it. From the first time I took him for a ride on it, he has wanted one of his own...

LOL....I believe this "game" has caused several of us to reevaluate our abilities....And challenge ourselves a little more...:cool:
 
Next season, I will be putting more time into my shots. Also, will start to take more random pictures in my travels...

I think that needs to be the biggest and hardest change for me as I only take shots I think are interesting to my ride.

LOL...Random doesn't work for me, Spyder. I need to be deliberate, plan to take pictures, sometimes with a theme already in mind, but still stay watchful for great pictures.

I guess it really is a mind set. And practice, lots of practice.

First thing is to always take a camera wherever you go. Bike, car, feet...don't matter, just have a camera with you. You just never know when you will see something beautiful. I've taken some nice wildflower photos in my doctors parking lot. You just need to find a camera that is small enough you always take it, and good enough you like what you get out of it.

For me, that means a real camera, not a phone. Cell phones work, some people do amazing things with them, but when I use my phone, which I do often, I take "cell phone" pictures....if that makes sense. A real camera makes me stop and think for a second, before I shoot.

Besides, a real camera makes it just more fun...
 
I have a couple of nice digital (compact) cameras. Will have to pull them out and do some comparing. Also, have an iPhone 7-Plus, that takes some decent pictures. I will start playing around with them all, and learning all the features, and options. Bottom line is, I would really like some REALLY good pictures of my bikes. You guys will be the judges next season, lol, as I likely won't be getting any of the bike until then... Unless the theme is "Your bike in your garage", lol...
 
I’m out of town away from my pc. I hope posting this pic works from my phone. Sorry if I don’t get a chance to vote tomorrow, I will try. This is me and my younger son Noah about 6 or 7 years ago.

Gustov pic does show Infulencing the next (2nd next?) generatiion. Activly involved in that.

And some nice pics of young kids on bikes.

Roger Burque, Keerfunk and Jedz are great pics of giving young kids a ride.
Roger Burque is great for showing the faces and the experssions, the kid listning and Roger explaining, and so the picture tells something of a story. THe perspective is just the casual observer standing there, could have moved in closer and maybe minimized the distrating background. BUt the background does tell the story some too.
Kerry Keerfunks is also great for showing the faces and experssions, the kids looks is squeelling with delight. (Although the picture also looks like could be a complelty different picture in about 1 second).
Jedz great pic also showing the faces. THe kid looks like maybe is enjoying it, or maybe wondering why mom(?) is standing there taking a picuture and allowing this to happen, look Mom, he his taking his hand off the controls.

My pic is well lite and nondistracting background (yes, on purpose). But is just us sitting there, and all face expressions are blank. (again, probably related to all the commotion related to me preplanning the location and time of day of posing the scene, getting everyone together, me setting up camera, give wife specific instruction with the camera, then I gather kids and get us all on bike, then in the meantime she has moved from where I specified or something. You may notice that I have no more pics after this occasion of me and the two kids on bike.)

I am sure many of the pics are significant pictures for the individuals involved. And well serve the purpose they were taken for.

I like cowboys pic of him and Charmayne. But then again, I like the pic because I have seen them ride together for a couple years, then have seen her ride on her own.

But looking at the pics, just as pictures for the subject-them-catagory, I keep comming back to the the three of giving kids a ride. And for the tie breaker, Roger giving the instrutions and the kids listning, my vote goes for Roger Burque
 
I'm voting for Kerrfunk this week. You should see the way we rode on the back of a Triumph in 1963. Your daughter's smile says it all! Redman your two kids and you are a classic shot! Smile.....
 
Kerrfunk for me, also.

A good photo, (in motion, subject fairly sharp, background blurred), which clearly showed my what the subject was.
Add in the pure joy on his daughter's face, combined with the apprehensive expression on Kefffunk's face, makes it the winner for me.
