I'm into photography as well and if you want to go that direction we can. the composition of the photo is ok. The crop is to tight above the bike. I wouldn't have cropped out both the crank and the rear wheel. The photo itself works. I like how the angle of the bike helps your eye flow from left to right and seeing each detail in order, BUT THIS ISNT A PHOTOGRAPHY FORUM.

That being said, as much as a photo helps a bike be HOT-r-NOT this isn't a place to be all artistic with angles, but if you must do different shots like this at least post one good profile along with it. It doesn't show off the bike as much and is not up to BF code. (in reality who cares about BF code) BUT thats what most people around here expect to see. You say..."No white garage door". you think the reason most people place their bike in front of their door is to also show off their awesome garage door? No, it is so the background/colors do not interfere with the details/contour lines of the bike. Nobody is talking about the fact that it isn't a better than ok photo, those of us who have said it needs a better photo is because it does not show it off as well as a profile shot. Doesn't have to be propped up against a garage door, several hot bikes have been posted with other backgrounds.

You are a better man than I am.

Then I stand corrected.

I still browse this thread for the nice bikes, but the idiotic comments are mind-numbing.

Soloist Assassin

This comment is HOT!!!

Nassa

Better picture but still from iphone

That is a simple not, but out of curiosity, what is that craziness below your stem? Obviously some spacers, but the huge thing under that looks bizarre.

Nassa

Thanks. It is Argon18 3D Headtube, more information can be found here.

BTW, taking pictures of your bike in front of the garage door makes for some fine examples. Nothing wrong with that, even if my opinion mattered. I just appreciate creative photography and consider the image in question exemplary.

It seems like putting spacers on top of that 3D headtube defeats the whole reason they do it. The bike either doesn't fit that well due to geometry or you need to remove the spacer and flip the stem up. Or just ride it like it was built for.

Soloist Assassin

Correct.

UCIMBZ

That is all fine and dandy. You went wrong where you made this assumption:

WHOOOSSHHH...

No one here is serious...Right?

Nassa

The bike is comfortable as is, maybe later in the year I will remove the spacers. I honestly don't like to see the excess tube on top of the stem, but I am afraid to cut it.

blah blah blah everyone knows the s-works would be hot if it was taken according to the regulations of the hot or not photo UCI district 2's rules. Let's move on to more bikes.

rkwaki

Is your name Craig?
Bwahahaha

+1, though I think whoever Art is should keep is teeth off other people's asses.

bike for the wife (who's 5'4"). I found it then stripped it down to the frame, cleaned, greased, put in new cables, and then tuned it... but then she wanted a "pink road bike".... :...




I'm happy that it only lasted 5min on craigslist (I sold it to this awesome young military guy... we talked for about an hour really good guy).

Steve90068

Sadly, I think some are. Post some new Lynskey pics, Wooshie! Haven't seen Ti hotness in a bit

back up, use a longer lense, open the aperture. It also will allow you to keep proportions in your front and back wheel and blur the backgound. This way you remove the distraction and keep the bike in proportion.

However, your biggest no-no is cutting off the RD and crank. It just jumps off the page like cropping of the best parts of nude.

Otherwise I like bike. 54cm?

GiantDefyGuy

Damn, that's HOT!!
(It would be even hotter with the right color bar tape, so that's why you only get 2 exclamation points).

runningDoc

it had a brown brooks saddle on it for my wife...hence the brown tape. but again, after I did all that work... she said she wanted a Føcking "pink bike"... I never did take pictures of the bike with a brown leather saddle. The above pic was for the aforementioned craigslist listing.

antmeeks

I wish I could just get my wife on a bike. Pink or otherwise.

WHOOOSSHHH...

I did some updates on the Ti, plus picked up a Cervelo SLC-Sl...Crummy pictures coming soon, which will make that Specialized picture taker look like Leanardo Divinci...

Soloist Assassin

wut?
