I'm finding the black GS500F difficult to photograph.  If you take a picture of the left side when it's on the side stand, the downward lean and black paint cause all of the details to wash out.

It's not so bad when that's the biggest complaint you have about your bike :lol:

So you're gonna start seeing more shots of the right side of my bike  :mrgreen:

Nice! I kinda wish the black was available here in the U.S. last year when I bought my "F". I had Blue or Yellow to choose from. I shoulda come up across the border I dunno though, I really do like my blue. It's a toss up. I like the yellow ones too. Hell I like'em all...

The 05 comes in Blue and Black here in the states.

makes me wish mine was black

black bikes and hot chicks on black bikes rule

hahahaahah
i'm a little drunk right now

goodnight,

Lighting is a big part of it; midday is the worst time to take pics.  You want to take pictures either very early or very late in the day, and take them with your back to the sun.  That way, the sides of things will be well-illuminated, and you'll avoid the crazy washout/heavy shadow kind of effect you get from high, bright sun.

Overcast days are actually very good for photographs, if you have a sec to take a longer exposure.

Yeah - what she said!  

I would have bought black instead of my blue if they were avail  

She makes the GS look big.

The trick is getting your scenery to move so the sun is in the right place  :lol:
