Black Thunder

The weather still is dark, grey and depressing over here in The Netherland, and so this morning I thought about cancelling today's photo-shoot and set another date with Jose. But it seemed that in Schiedam, near Rotterdam, it would stay dry-(ish) and so we gave it a try. The way to Schiedam, the windscreen-wiper of my car worked overtime. But in Schiedam... it stopped pissing down and we succeed in making some decent shots! This bike is an Evo Harley Davidson, named the Black Thunder, and it features a tuned engine and a 300 mm rear tire.














With this kind of weather it's hard to have some detail in the highlights, but look, there even is a teint in the sky, coz the background is a tiny little under-exposed. Strobe 1/4 power, left (close to Jose's face) and another bare light 1/2 power in front for a little fill-in, about 5 metres away from the bike.














Jose wanted some riding shots (without helmet and eehhh... in the hectic traffic of Schiedam!!) as he liked the action photo's I did for Evert's highneck! But, as said, the weather was really, really dark and because of the long shutter-speed, most of the photo's were shaky... Arrghhh!! But then I bumped onto this lucky shot! (no, we didn't rode really that fast, just about 50 km/h)
