Some have gone against this, and done artsy fartsy photos in the garden or the kitchen or lounge room sometimes this has worked, other times it has resulted in a thread hijack about canned tomatoes , for some reason the fixie pixies seem to like graffiti'd walls and alley-ways.... but we all know that they are individuals and don't follow any fads or trends
So Zep, if you want to go against the grain and use a colour co-ordinated garage door system to compliment all your bikes, then go right ahead.... but the safest bet is to stick with a cream door.

Well Larky you seem quite the authority on garage door colour don't you. What is the colour of your garage door, that is if you even have one? Me thinks there could be some garage door envy going on here.Lark2004 wrote:forum etiquette has always been to use a cream door for bike photos.

I'm off to Bunnings to buy a tin of cream paint.

If you look back a page, you can see my yellow and black commuter sitting in front of one of them.
Garage door envy? nah.... not me, I'm quite happy with my lot, I own them so that's enough for me...

Nice bike, the rustic background is suitable for an off-road bike photo but would be scandalous to use for a road-bike photoStanley5184 wrote:HERES MY HASA COMP 3.0 you most likey havn't heard of the brand, they sell really cheap bikes!

Looks good. But I couldn't stand to have a half built bike laying around for 2 years.. Cell have been flogging some half decent wheel sets for the past few weeks have you had a look at those?sblack wrote:My first bike build finally reached the point of being ridable this week. It's currently on borrowed wheels until I have the funds to source my own or my friend sorts out getting the frame to put all the bits he has on. So far it's only done a couple of short rides to work and back, can't wait to take it out on some decent rides. I've been picking up bits on special, from the marketplace and ebay for around 2 years now so it's been a lesson in patience as much as in bike building.

Whatever you might have read about the XTR Trail brakes is absolutely true. They are amazing. All that is required is a feather weight touch on the levers and you are stopping man. Goodbye arm pump, braking is effortless and that's running 160mm rotors. 180mm rotors would be out of this world, but probably not necessary (maybe in the Alps).
Shifting out back is slick. Under full load the narrow chain clicks up to the next cog on the cluster in an instant, and you can use all 10 cogs while in the middle ring up front without any issues. Front end shifting is pretty much like the old 9 speed, but having the closer ratios means you only need to compensate with one cog change on the rear.

Yeah, been keeping my eye on specials at all the online places as well as what's been popping up in the marketplace and ebay and other options like Soul and Pro-Lite. There seams to be quite a few good options to consider at around the $400 mark. Funds aren't at the point of making a purchase at the moment unfortunately though.elStado wrote:Cell have been flogging some half decent wheel sets for the past few weeks have you had a look at those?

I dont own a roller door, so there ya go, hehe. I probably wouldnt use it as a backdrop even if i had one, unless it was old and had a bit of characterDiverMark wrote:Worthy indeed I'm also impressed you used a brick wall for a backdrop as I did. I was beginning to think I would be a cycling outcast for not using a roller door

That is has. I shoot with raw format, from a DSLR (canon 550d). Shooting raw gives you a ton of extra options with a raw editor like camera raw for photoshop CS5, or in adobe lightroom. In there you can do a whole bunch of things like cross possessing, colour tweaks etc,schroeds wrote:can you share some photo tips, this shot has been manipulated hasn't it?
Alternatively, if you have photoshop and cant be bothered learning too much about grading. You can download photoshop actions which will do a lot for you, giving a per defined look, with about 1 button click
You can download photoshop actions from here - http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§i ... op+actions

Nice images Vivifyer! I like you storm images and the sunset through Perth. I shoot underwater with a housed digital SLR. http://www.gerlachimages.com.au
I have both photoshop CS4 and Lightroom and find I use Lightroom for 90% of my editing these days.
