A day at the museum(bandwidth warning)...

...For those of you who don't do facebook(I posted these pix on my homepage). Yesterday was not a good day to ride the goose, I decided to pay a visit to the Barber Motorsports Park(never been there) and take some reference pix for future sketches. The lighting sucked for full-color photography, so I put the camera in monochromatic mode. The diffuse lighting turned out to be an advantage in that respect. I'll have to visit the museum again since some of the Ducati pix didn't turn out quite right.

If the colors are RGB, just merge the channels so the same amount comes out of all three channels, like RRR, GGG, BBB or some other combination.

Love brit bikes, especially with the license plate mounted on the front fender.

Indian? I'd sell you all into slavery for a '48 chief! That's my #1 favorite bike.

Thanks for the awesome pics!<a href="http://mydrive.roadfly.com/photos/pic.php?u=12416ZZeyI&i=10430"><img src="http://mydrive.roadfly.com/photos/pic.php?u=12416ZZeyI&i=10430" border="0"></a>


Boston Green M Roadster

The 48 Indian Chief Roadmaster is my all-time favorite bike. They had a coupla early 40s Indians w/leaf spring forks, and the number 2 bike on my favorites list; 74 Ducati 750SS. Ditto the pedestrian slicers on the brit bikes. I'm thinking about butting one on the goose when I do her WWII military makeover. I've converted color pix to B&W using ACDSee in the past, but this was more about the B&W photog mindset, plus I didn't wanna have to fiddle around with custom white balance.
