If you ask a photographer how they took a photograph (so you can copy it), they’ll bore you with technical talk for hours. They’ll try to make you understand the exposure triangle, dynamic range, and the intricacies of focus. Their eyes will light up as they have a one-person discussion on whether prime lenses are better than zoom lenses. They’ll t...
One way photographers over-complicate everything is by trying to accommodate everyone. They’ll tell you to do A, B, and C if you have a smartphone. But if you have a point-and-shoot camera, you’ll need to do X, Y, and Z. Oh, you have a full-frame or a mirrorlesscamera? In that case, you’ll need to do Y, A, W, and N. But you’ll be pleased to know I ...
Woahhhh, hang on a sec. Why are we talking about the setting? Well, I’ll tell you why. It’s because nobody actually cares about your bike. If you ride a BMW GS, a Honda Africa Twin, a Ducati Multistrada, or any other mainstream bike, we’ve all seen it. A million times before. On a million Instagram posts. And besides, if you’re touring, your bike d...
Take advantage of features. For example, if you’re in the Alps, ensure you get the mountains in the background. If you’re in a city, take advantage of architecture or monuments. And if you find yourself in the fog, capture the mood of the surroundings rather than simply photographing the bike. You’ll venture upon snow in the mountains (or in places...
When touring on a motorcycle, you don’t always have time to wait for the optimum shooting conditions. Sure, the scene in front of you could be breathtaking at sunset. But if it’s getting dark and you still have 100 miles to go to your hotel, you haven’t got time to wait. You need to shoot what’s in front of you. Now. Removing the element of time re...
Okay, I’ve just said that light isn’t important when you need to take a photo immediately. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take it into account at any given moment. For example, don’t shoot into the light if you can avoid it. You’ll end up with a silhouette and a big, burning ball of fire taking up the frame. Take a second to assess what you want t...
Simply put, this is where you line up your shot. Most people point their camera at their subject (their bike) and press the shutter button. But if you want to take your images up a level, consider where your bike sits in the frame and how it compliments the setting. Naturally, you’ll put the bike in the centre of the frame. But what if it looks bet...
Scenes look different from different angles. But the natural thing to do is shoot at eye level. I can tell you that this rarely produces the best shot, and a simple deviation in angle can make your image stand out. For example, try getting high and shooting down on your bike. This is so different to what we usually see that it makes your image pop....
Sometimes, the vastness of a place is what you want to capture. But how do you photograph the concept of somewhere being ‘big?’ In this situation, you should move away from the bike to make it small in your frame. This is what photographers mean when we refer to ‘negative space.’ Making your bike small in the frame emphasises space and emptiness. I...
One thing that ALL photographers do is avoid clutter. And that’s why their images always look better than yours! Before you take the shot, see if there are any distractions. Is your background littered with messy tree branches, people, park benches, or vehicles? Are there power cables, rubbish bins, or anything else unsightly in the shot? The best ...
