Good news from the BackstreetHeroes blogspot! Tristan's hardtail Triumph old skool chopper is published in next month's issue! And there will be some more great looking (Brit)bikes in this English magazine, as always...

Bigtwin februari 2010

Next month's Bigtwin issue is again a real good one! Especially the chopper of ZZ-Tjebbe (photographed by Grizzly) is awesome! Also some of my stuff is published this month.

Jannot's Dragstar bobber







Evert's Badfellaz highneck. Mention this moving shot, which is made with a flasher on a arm which was attached with clamps at the back of my car :-)

Erik's wonderful Sportster boardtracker!

Pepe's hot rod sidecar

And part II of the Bigtwin Bikeshow in Rosmalen

Portraits

Haven't photographed a motorcycle for a while, as there's snow everywhere! Can't use those snowy bike-pictures for editorial reasons, as bikes are featured mosty a few month's after they'd been shot.

But yesterday my sister Marit, asked if I would like to take a few portraits of her in the snow. So I grabbed the speedlights. Under-exposed the background about two stops, put one light at a tripod the right hand side with umbrella and one light straight behind Marit on the fencing as rim-light. Looks really pro, isn't it?

Chrismas present

Look what I've found under the Christmas tree? A heavy duty boom-stand for flash lights, with a contra-weight and all! Super!! I bet this never blows away like my other stands! (now I only need a trailer and an assistant to move all this stuff. errrrr)

Thanks Santa!

New year's Bigtwin magazine

Wow, time is flying when having fun!! Tomorrow, the januari 2010 issue of Bigtwin magazine will drop in the mail box. Is it allready that far? Oh, happy Christmas then, to you all!!



"Who's that beautiful model on the cover?" I hear you asking... Well, it's professional model Roos van Leent. I photographed her with Onno 'Berserk' Wieringa's Swedish chopper at the Bigtwin Bikeshow in Rosmalen.






Bigtwin Bikeshow part I, next month more about this great event. Also some great photo's of Limpe Iven are used.







And the road-test I dit of the Triumph Rocket III at Triumph's home-base of Hinckley!






Cool cool! Harm's beautiful classic styled Triumph! Shots are made with two studio lights and batteries on location.

About a year ago this xs650 of Wilbert was shot and now he's immortalized at the pages of BeNeLux' best biker magazine!

And last but not least, one of the most extreme bikes of this year: The Codex Gigas, made by Bozzies. This white painted Harley was difficult to photograph without having over- and underexposed bits. Couldn't have done it without strobes :-)

Jekill & Hyde Panhead

Wow! right when I thought this year couldn't be any better, we shot one of the best Panheads around - made by Sjoerd of Jekill & Hyde - in this cold last month of 2009! The wather forecast was about rain, rain and more rain... But it wasn't really that bad though.
Sjoerd is a young and super-enthousiastic bloke. He took care of this great photo-location: an abandoned building with declining roofs and everything... Oh, and the step-ledder wasn't really Arbo-approved too... Photography = dangerous!

Studio lights on location, I love it!








Who says rainy days aren't good for photography? Two bare strobes on tripods were put in the middle of a deep water puddle. I'm really glad they didn't blew away :-)

Limpe Iven in BackStreetHeroes

Limpe's xs650 chopper is in the latest issue of BSH magazine. As is a report of the German Dieselshow. Buy or die!
