woe-hoe!!!!

Next saturday the new Bigtwin magazine will drop in the mail-box... It's a good one (and not only because there's lots of stuff from me in it!) More about the new Bigtwin magazine at http://www.bigtwin.nl/


Guess who did the cover photo? Playing around with all those heavy lights and batteries finally starts having result :-)


















Part 1 of my project 1Off, a 'how-to' about the paintwork by KustomBart. Cool or cool?! As I speak, he's working on a new paint-cabin, by the way...










The Ultima 'El Bruto' by Motley Choppers. The've got a new website!










Eelco's 14 Cycles TwinCam (can't wait to see the whole feature as there were plenty of dead-cool photo's of that photoshoot... The location was excellent!)










Danny's Savage, also shot with studio lights

The Belgian xs400 rat rod chopper, the action shot looks cool, huh?

And, of course, the Triumph Young Skool, made by the 18 year young El Renne!!!!

Harleydag Breda

Although Harleydag Breda has become too big to my taste (it seems like a familyday happening, so many non-biking people are attracted to this Harley event in Breda) I had a good day last sunday. Shot some pictures for the best magazine in the Benelux.

Star Riders

Last saturday we went to Belgium to shoot these two Star riders. The location was excellent, an old castle! There was hard mid-day sun and it was hot as hell... played around with speedlights to blow some shades. I'm really happy about how the pics turned out!




















Looks like natural light, huh? Bare strobe 1/2 power at the right side :-)

Virago choppers

Wednesday (see post below) I visited the photographer Limpe Iven and chatted about lightning stuff. A day later I went to Ortwin & Manon to shoot their WILD Virago choppers and I could turn some of Limpe's theory's in practice.

After this photoshoot I ended up at the roadside (in the middle of the night!!) with a f*cked up battery and the Wegenwacht didn't want to help me out! So... I know which organisation I don't want to be member of...

But luckily Ortwin dragged me and my car to his home at 2:00 in the morning! Thanks mate!!


Ortwin's car wheeled rigid Virago, dead cool!






Ortwin, low sun at the right side and a soft flash at the left












Manon, with some flash from the right side, shot at 10 mm











Late sun plus flashers... the best combination there is!







Me, eating dust... (picture by Ortwin, who laughed at me...)

Limpe's xs650

Limpe Iven (check his blog) is a excellent photographer...







but he builds some excellent rides too!

So, I phototographed the photograper last wednesday. You can guess what we talked about? You're right! Bikes and photography! I've learned a lot from Limpe Iven. Right again, check out his blog!

Virago's

In the new Fighters magazine, you'll find Engelbert's cafe racer. It isn't the most difficult bike to built but it seems it has a lot of impact!





Engelbert, burning some rubber here








Another cool Virago, Flub's creation, is shot in 2006. This bike is so low that it doesn't need a jiffy at all!

K-A-R-S

Yesterday I went to Heerlen and make some photo's of the custom- and hotrod garage K-A-R-S, runned by Tristan and his crew. Tomek runs the K-A-R-S shop. You might know Tristan from the many magazine's he and his projects are featured in... But also he did Pimp My Ride for a season! I shot some pics of his atmospheric garage (have I told you I love strobes??), Tomek's shop and a full photoshoot of a neat pre-unit Triumph chopper too!

The K-A-R-S crew, cool photo, shot with 2 bare strobes to blow away some shades







Tristan








How old skool could an old-skool Triumph chop be?








Tristan, here doing some fine metal-shaping (bare strobes left and right side)










Cool wide-angle shot of Tristan and his bike
