I was asked to shoot some pictures to illustrate a bikers catalogue (leather packs) and it had to be B&W .
Here are a few shots, feel free to comment.

    Curious choice of B&W for catalog work, but the photography is spectacular. I especially love that last shot.

    I'm guessing you're night a biker though, as the puddles under the Ducati are a real-showstopper. rolleyes1.gif

    Beautiful shots over all. If this were work for the web, nothing really to be nit picky about.

    There isn't a lot of b&w catalog work out there, but when done right it certainly has an impact. One thing to be careful of, print isn't the same as online. Catalogs are not printed like prints or even magazines, they are mass produced on the cheap, so you have to be extra careful.

    In the 1st shot, the motion blur is very minor and depending on how well the printing occurs, it may end up looking more like a smudge than a blur. Especially at the rear tire.

    The 2nd image highlights are grey and may not come out perfectly when printed in mass bulk.

    As usual Steve, outstanding work on all. The first shot really shows off the rider's leathers - perfect balance of lighting and a great background.
