I'm doing a photo contest for ducati stuff. I took some quick pics of a few of my bikes and need help figuring out which 3 to send in.

So help me pic.. I figure since you are not ducati people you would judge on the better picture.

So here we go...

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5


#6


#7


#8


#9


#10


#11


#12


#13


#14


#15


#16


#17


So let me know what you think???

 

I like:

7
6
10
11
12
9

I think pretty much in that order as well.

 

i say 17

 

12 looks interesting

 

if you want to win go with 12, i like 1 but definitely pick 12! gives the emtion of driving with ducati written in one place that you see right away and then the later affect of seeing the lettering on the pedal.

 

They are all really amazing, but my favorite is 11

 

11, 12, and 4.

 

I like 11 and 12 the most.

 

I am thinking...

12
3
10

Do the pics have to be of just sections of the bikes? No full bike shots?

 

11 does it for me.

 

I'd definitely send in one of the engine close ups...i like the footpeg one, or anyone with lots of little details/history in it.

I wouldnt submit a new bike pic, I'd def go for a close up of one of the old bikes

try to do half saturation, that makes it look old timey.

Some of the hues look weird, like too green?

but cool pics!

 

10..

 

My garage and front yard was a mess at the time. I was trying to clean the place up a bit. So I took close ups to hide the backrounds. Plus I like more mechanical pictures then just boring bike pics.

I was using the time machine setting on photoshop. Thats why the pic went green. Its how pictures looked back in the day.

The foot pegs, gauge, gas tank are off the 1964 ducati 250, The old motor are off the 1948 Ducati Cucciolo (Ducati's 1st motorcycle). Last two are of the desmosedici. You cant get any newer or higher tech then that bike.

I love the 11 and 12 pics. But figured people would like 3 and 4
I figured #4 would stand out more as it has brembos. So looks like we passed the biased test.... hahaha

So I figure 11 or 12 for sure. Then maybe I'll take some more today.

 

11.

 

10 Best shot of the bunch IMHO - speaks to the legend, draws the viewer into the image and ONTO the motorcycle. I'm not even a motorcycle guy, and I want to hop on and ride that down a nice country road. I could see this becoming a cover shot for a book on the history of this company.

2 Nice use of black and white, and particularly good lighting. That would be more of a chapter opening shot - something that won't take too long to look at, but beautiful nonetheless.

12 I would lighten the DUCATI written on the side just a *tiny bit* to make it slightly less mysterious. Other than that, a well presented detail shot.

7 - Would have made it into my top three had you used a black sheet/cover to hide the reflections. Whatever it is reflected to the right of the emblem is just far too distracting, otherwise another really nice shot.
