This is an iPhone pic of my bike at the top of Emory Pass in New Mexico. I intentionally took the picture with the bike not centered to emphasize the background scenery.

There is a shot we’ve all had taken with our trusty steeds—you know, that one where you’re sitting on or standing next to your bike wearing the ol’ ear-splitting grin. Of course, if you’re the one in the photo, you may think you haven’t much control over the outcome of the shot, but if you’ve set up the camera before you hand it to Jane or Joe or the mailman walking by, you’ll be happier with the results. Here are the basics of shooting decent “person with bike” photos, and beauty shots of the bike alone.

I go as far as photographing the underside of the bike, and get very close-up in areas where people might have concerns, like where you might find rust or corrosion, such as the nuts/bolts, bare metal, brake rotors, spokes, etc...

Thank you very much for the advise. I have been working on pictures lately and had a bit of a hard time getting some nice shots. I think this advise will make a diference.
