Wheelin - Monochrome Weekend


This photo was in my archives, it was taken this past summer at a car show. The bikes are newer models but I liked the shine.

For more great monochrome visit Aileni at Monochrome Weekend.

I like the shine and the composition. They seem to be moving even though they are standing still. Powerful machines.

Hello there! I like the glossy parts and the detail, like the 'studs" on the seat.

The monochrome works perfectly for this picture. Whenever I see your monochrome shots, I wish I had the good eye you have for this kind of thing.

RuneE said...

Shot at a show? Yet you managed to confer to it a feeling of speed .

Hi Miss Cindi Lou and Judy,
We love the blue skies and birch trees...somehow we missed that one on its post day.
Todays shiny bikes is quite dramatic...
Great pictures.
We hope you all have a good weekend.

I like the detail and the shine, there is a sense of motion or the need to move about them. ~ Calico Contemplations

TC said...

A wonderful composition and I also like the way you caught the shininess.

Bengbeng said...

Dory and the Mama said...

diane said...

You sure know how to frame a shot. Love the sun glinting on the bikes.

Mark Kreider said...

I like B&W, mono photos very much. Different set of problems and fun. Nice work!

I love it Judy. The way that chrome shines catching the sun. Beautiful composition as well, just that hint of their power. ~Jeanne

Carver said...

I like the shiny parts too. Great shot. At first I thought it was auto parts with a quick glance and then I realized it was motorcycles. I like it when I do a double take on a shot.

Serendipity said...

I like the shine too!

Ebie said...

I could see reflection too! Great composition, Judy. I used to drive a moped in my younger years.

Monochrome is perfect for the shine of chrome and reflected light - and bikes!

On someone else's computer so I've managed to arrive!

Exactly, it's the shine which strikes one before your text comes up. Maybe that's why it is an uplifting photo. (Can't explain it otherwise.)

I very interesting composition of my least favourite subject! But, now I am looking for shapes within shapes, trying not to make associations with the first image that comes to mind! Will that work in a meme like this, I wonder.

Splendid Little Stars said...

shine, and leather, and rivets--great composition!

The Japanese Redneck said...

I like the texture you applied. Very neat.

Judy Sheldon-Walker said...

Wonderful monochrome entries. The details are superb.

Pat said...

Vroom, vroom! Makes me want to hop on one and ride into the sunset! Great angle for this shot!
