Canon T2i Rebel with 18-55mm lens.Inspiration
This was my first time on a Harley, and I loved every minute of it. I wanted to capture motion and the feeling of being on the bike.Editing
I stuck to basics during the post-process (TLCC), and changed the image to black and white. I didn't want to focus on color for this specific photo because it wouldn't enhance it any further, but rather distract from the feeling.In my camera bag

Don't be afraid to try something new and maybe a little dangerous. Make sure to have your balance before letting go of the person driving, and let them know what you are planning to do so they are prepared as well. Also, try different sources of light and times of day. Depending on the time of day could also determine if you use color or black and white in your final image.
