Not a comment on the model, but I think the shot may have been better with just the bike.
From a mechanical perspective the chain and trailing arm can make for a very interesting composition.

I can shoot the bike any day... getting experienced models into the studio, takes a lil more effort..

as for the chain and swingarm... sounds like work... I'd have to clean it first...lol!
That bike gets "rode hard and put away wet".... washing usually involves waiting for a rain storm..

I'm a fan of her music, but not her lifestyle. This was predictable. She's 27, looks forty and now dead... yeah for drugs!

My son's K20D is a lovely camera and he got it at a bargain cashback price at the time.

You can do pretty well everything with the KR I have. This enthusiast loves it and it's much more compact. The toggle between aperture and shutter speed is simple. I wouldn't swap!

K20d has a pentaprism rather than a dimmer pentamirror on KX's and KR's. Do pentaprisms really cost that much that we can't all have them?
yes optical glass is expensive. prisms need to be high quality. that is the basis of my belief that evf's will eventually replace prisms for the mass market....

nice. now add an eye-fi card to that and ditch the wires! (the eye-fi card does cost twice as much as the camera connector kit from Apple....)

I'm terrible with numbers too Don, but I don't have dyscalcula - I'm just bit thick!

That was a great video, I thought with the epic music you used for it, that you were going to culminate in the stand-off with the park official
naw, I do have that on video though....

but why let some dork with a power complex ruin my family home movie?

How can the complain about something that hasn't happened yet? You must've gone 'Back to the Future' . . . August 29 2011 ? ? ? ?

Ever hear of a math disorder called dyscalculia?
I'm bad with numbers. That would include dates.....
Sometimes I go into the drivers licencing office and ask them to check if my licence is valid, cause I'm prone to forgetting my birthdate. When I was a teen, I remember one lady at the licence office asking me how old I was. She started laughing when I opend my wallet, pulled out my birth certificate and started counting...
"Sure laugh now lady" I said to her "but eventually, I'm gonna run outta fingers and toes, I'll have to strip naked to count to 21, and after 21 I'm screwed!"


hehehe...

I like them all, the second shot of your wife is an improvement over the first, composition wise... Iggy looks like he's been in the sun too long... I see an Iggy Pop California Raison, character in his future...
