    Panhead

    Decided to get in close on this shot of an old Harley Panhead.

    The b/w works really well here.
    I do wish it was just a little wider so the air intake(i think..top right), wasn't cut off.
    I knew it would be a Harley but thought it might be your tripod head.
    Keep Shooting!

    Nice job Brian. I agree with the choice of b&w for this one, it really brings the shine of the chrome out. Did you use the 12-24 on this one?
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I LOVE the sot. I love that the old kick start is in it to show the vintage style of the bike. I also love the B&W. The details seem to shout out to you.

    I have to go hug my Harley....

    Great job...

    Re: Panhead

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Frog, I debated on whether or not to leave the air cleaner in it but decided against it because of other things it was leaving in the frame that I didn't want. Troy, not sure about the valve covers. Larry, can't remember what I was shooting with, it was either the 12-24 or the 28-70. Phil, the kick start was the main piece I was going for that and the small piece that says Casey's Custom Cycles. Here is a shot of the whole bike for those who are curious.

    Wow, thats an old school bike blended with some disco era additions. That panhead motor is really a work of art. I love your shot of it. The spring for the Kick Start is just so awesome..
