More Bike Armor

These are the results from the second round of Bike Armor pics. These are promotional shots of a road bike for Bike Armor. I really think the red helps the product logo pop.

BIke Armor

Took a shot at some product photography for a product called Bike Armor. It's fun yet challenging because the product is made to appear invisible. I tried to isolate the various parts of the bike, where the Bike Armor is applied, by centralizing the focus by blurring the the outer rim and adding a vignette. If was fun bouncing light every where in the white room that I used. It worked well to get as many reflections as I could. I used 2 SB-800 and 1 SB-900. The first SB-800 I blasted on the back wall to help with the white back drop and elimanate any shadows form the other lights. The second SB-800 I bounced off the closest wall, and the third light, my SB-900 I shot trough a collapsable diffusion reflector, (because I'm to cheap for a soft box). I moved this light around to light up the specific parts of the bike I wanted to feature. I used my cameras wireless feature to control the out puts of the 2 different groups of lights. Maybe it all worked, maybe it didn't, but it was kind of fun.
