Edmonton Motorcycle Show


This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Edmonton Motorcycle show.  I am contemplating getting a bike this summer and this has been my first real chance to "test sit" and compare bikes.  Plus since I'm taking a photography course, this would be a good chance to practice shooting.  

It was an interesting experience...turns out I was more interested in the bikes than I was in taking pictures.  I made the mistake of only bringing my fixed 50mm lens.  I really could have used a shorter lens because every time I set up for a shot, some yahoo would wander into the frame and I ended up with a ton of pictures of middle aged men's butts (and for the record, that's not my preferred subject to shoot).

I was able to get some quick photo's of some of the more interesting paint jobs and I got a bit of practice with my Aperture setting, so not a total loss.

  1. Looks good, Snake Mittens. What a shame about chocolate mittens not getting best in show. Can't wait for the next set of photos
