Bike porn

jesus christ - it's bike porn.. bike looks nice = put it in the thread.

Rules? For bike porn? What makes good/bad porn? Can we just look at some bikes please and stop quantifying it.

Different strokes for different boats. Some people like midgets in chocolate sauce, some like 2 girls 1 cup and some people just like to look at page 3....

I would agree with iro_dan, but if I did, then anything I said on the glossy girls would get overridden :P

I find the panasonic "montage" dull and uninspiring; just because someone's put kashimax and all the right dooberries on their bike

You obviously didn't look at the montage properly; it doesn't have a Kashimax, it has a Rolls. I'm hardly going to take lessons on aesthetics from somebody so unobservant.

For the elimination of any doubt, the Corima is hotter than the Panasonic, but poorly photographed. If this thread could be confined to bicycles of exceptional quality photographed well, it would be under 100 pages long.

er... throwing that right back at you in that case mate.. I was referring to the toe straps...

it would be under 100 pages long.

more like under 20 pages long!
Photographing still life objects is actually bloody hard. I work with/direct photographers all the time and I'm amazed at the amount of skill it takes to shoot an immobile object well.

"phwoaarrrr.. lovely set of pads on those twins.." etc

I love/hate these.. can never make up my mind.

and a cropped out industrial/electronics conglomerate logo.
what's porn about a fridge manufacturer making bikes.

are you farking nuts?

whatev's, this from the man who started a thread about nob outlines in lycra. inspiring erotica eh? rather subjective..

..which brings us back to square one. I find the panasonic "montage" dull and uninspiring; just because someone's put kashimax and all the right dooberries on their bike and shot it beautifully don't necessarily make it good porn, or even "inspiringly erotic". For me it's all about the bike / components on these pages.. at worst a bad "snap" only hampers full appreciation of true porn, and at best a good "photo" only indulges appreciation of it. At worst though a "good" photo (lit, composed, digitally processed etc.) can actually render its subject bland and cliched.

i don't need to ask if you're farking nuts. You are. Fact.

BIKES guys - focus! ffs

now THAT is gloss.

iro_dan, don't forget to says repost!

which one? What? The hufnagel or the campag/colnago?
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

lulz just now watching the epically unobservant mitre come back, sniff around, see my reply, check the photos, see what I was talking about, go off in a huff...

ha! that'll learn you you stuffed shirt!

i don't need to ask if you're farking nuts. You are. Fact.

maybe.. maybe just indoors geeking off about bike stuff.. all harmless fun..

Porn for ENG folk...

surely you just put a camera in front of it and press a button? it's not going to move about like people do.

It's the lighting etc thats hard

well if you don't have softbox or anything, then yes it can be a bit hard, but hardly the hardest!

no more repost;

3Rensho

Thats a repost Ed!

note to self: do not post the last thing you were looking at as an example of your ultimate bike porn.....

.....just have to go back to something here...."bike porn isn't porn unless its a good picture" !!! Dear God what sort of demented shit is that? I have heard/read every argument as to what is and hat is not bike porn, but that takes the cake.

Anyway, here is some bike porn.

Obviously a nice lo-pro 3rensho, twin Campag disks, etc, etc. For me it is the entirely superfluous but beautifully colour co-ordinated pump that really makes this.

Now this completely fulfils what has to be one of the first laws of Bike Porn. Do you want to jump on it and ride it. Great 'amateur porn' type photo too...

^pump on low pro=anti-porn; drop bars on mountain bike=anti-porn.

have to agree there!
