A Photographers Challenge: Unique Bicycle

by Scott on January 5, 2010 in Challenge

When I was in school my professor gave us an assignment to photograph a bicycle and make it unique. This assignment had to be done using a Hasselblad and studio lights. I had so much fun with this assignment. I challenge you to do the same. Photograph a bicycle, photograph it in any way you can so that is unique in your mind. Then upload the images to Flickr and share the link with me. Please use the keyword SWIUniqueBicycleChallenge for easy searching as well!

Below you can see what I did year over 7 year ago in school

All done with a Hasselblad, Speedotron strobes around 11am. (yes, I said 11 AM)

Please be sure to comment with a link to your photos for me to see! The image that I think is the most unique will get a prize!

The challenge idea was inspired by coming up with an idea to challenge Roger Byrne who recently purchased his first Nikon DSLR

Update: The winner will receive a brand new box of the original HonlPhoto Rosco Gel Kit

Very interesting. Looks like the bike was moving and a dragged shutter. Cool shot!
