Classic & Vintage - Artistic photos of your Campy bike

Who has a neat photo of their Super Record, C Record bike? I am looking for something with unique lighting or shadows as a basis to do a watercolor painting. Maybe not the entire bike, maybe only part of the bike. Thanks!

I love the way the sun works with the leaves of fall, and the shiny bits and orange and yellow colors of the bike.

Try these out. I don't claim to be a good photogralpher, just OCD on taking pics! There are some Campy a couple of folders. Explore.
One of my favorites is:

My favorite, an eighties something Cyclops that fits me like a glove...

Feel free to edit Sacha out - although I happen to think she adds some artistic touch to this pic, myself :)

Well, she does match the bike... :D

A confused bike, to say the least:

Nice.

All these little holes might take too long to paint, but you can't deny the artsy-fartsyness:

I apologize for the ugly surroundings in these pictures. I need to start taking pictures outside more, and bring a camera along on rides.

Thanks KonAaron Snake, high praise indeed given your crew. It was a Christmas gift from my mom and dad in 1972 when I was 16. The bike was custom made for me at Holdsworth's with the best of everything at the time, so it's pretty special. I ride it often, a fun remembrance of my parents.

Everyone, theses are great! Plenty to work with here! Thanks!

I loved it even before that story and love it even more now. That's one of the 3-4 bikes on here I most drool over. You have to keep that as a family heirloom!

This pic turned out unexpectedly well considering I was "just riding along" the beach road in kitty hawk, nc. I saw the cottage and noticed it was vacant so I stopped to snap a quick pic of my bike.

I'll readily admit that I am a terrible photographer, but here is the best one that I have of my only Campy bike.

Of course, if you are going to paint something equipped with Campy, I assume that you wouldn't want a Japanese frame.

You know you want to paint the monkey.

I want to paint the monkey.
This bike has Campy, it's just on the back, where you can't see it.

something about this bike looks very familiar :)
