Yamaha

Thought it was about time I show some real work again.

These are just two shots from large series I shot with Hoffman York, for Yamaha's Parts and  Accessories Division.  The challenge was to first find and shoot great scenes that would be a perfect  environment for the different Yamaha vehicles, then to shoot the vehicles in the studio,

matching the lighting and perspective to that of  the scene. The key is to make the two shots blend seamlessly so when viewed no one can tell. These, and the other shots from the series

 can be seen on Yamalube containers any ware in the world.

Old Pond...

 I parked the bike at a pond just before sunrise.

  What I saw reminded me of an old Haiku.

Weeds At Sunrise

A sunrise can make anything look better, if you wake up and see it...

Even the weeds looked good today.

Sunrise Today

 Last night I thought it might be nice to add a sunrise shot to my blog.  After all, with everything happening these days, a nice sunrise shot just might cheer some people up. I know sunrise always make me feel better. 

So in the black of night I grabbed a camera fired up the motorcycle and off I went, another adventure. 

  As the sky lightened, I rode along  hoping for a warm colorful sunrise, with magic light filtering through the low lying fog embracing the rolling hills.

 But reality set in when the sun rose to greet a plain, pale blue sky with no ground fog, and yes I was in flat dairy land Wisconsin, so no rolling hills or anything else to help me find the beautiful sunrise shot that I was hoping for. I did however see some daisies, and I was enjoying a nice morning ride on the bike.

 So I guess sometimes, if we can't find that perfect sunrise,  we can be happy with the daisies we find by the side of the road...
