View Full Version : Photo request - travelling
I've seen a few threads on here with photos of bikes at the side of a road that really give the impression of travelling, and exploration.
It would really help with my project i have, if some members that took these photos could post them here for some inspiration.
Any photos you have that could be related to travelling and bikes would be appreciated :smt023

they look great, but you know someone's parked a h*nda in every one of your shots???
Yea thats exactly what i want thanks.
I won't ever use any photos posted in this thread as my own work, and if i wish to do a 'photo analysis' (of other peoples work) for my sketchbook i will ask the member first ;)

Because I binned the SV about 6 weeks before my Euro Trip in 2007, so have no shots of that in travelling mode! Here are some from a rideout though, cos she was my beautiful baby!

Same here but I think you need to have an eye for a good pic which you seem to have :) My camera has so many settings, I just don't have the time to get my head around them all!
Here's one, but I don't seem to have many of nice scenic bike ones, maybe that's to do with the YC's bike not being overly photogenic :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

Does look nice on a curvy, but my painting skills arent too good & it has flaked quite badly. I have put my indicators on differently to make it look more aesthetic. :)
