Firebolts Desktop at Buell.com

Sorry I couldn't post the picture while at work. Too many problems with this computer at work and not enough privileges to fix it. So, anyone notice what's wrong with that picture?

The yellow one does not come with chrome logo. It should be black?

Lets call it how it really is.....

Photoshop did its job, it is a horrible example of "Attention to Detail"

Noob in the tube!

Dude, it's an advertising piece.

Besides. . . after a couple of the REAL glitches in the past, you scared the dickens out of me.

Trust me . . . there have been a couple DOOZIES.

You buy a yellow one and want a chrome sticker, just let me know.

: )

By the way. . I agree on the shadows..suppose there were TWO suns where they shot the pics?

in pre-photo shop daze, I woulda guess that the pic was the result of a way too enthusiastic fill-flash user and Fuji Film

why isn't there a good way to clean out our biological caches, I ask ya?

Yeah, they took off passenger pegs, but I don't think that is PS. It looks like it was high noon when they did the photos, and they used those big relectors to bring light to the shaded side. they use them when they want to light up news people on TV when the sun is at the wrong angle.

I don't think the shadows are off, itis noon and a ton of fill flash. without the fill flash you wouldn't see the bikes BUT it does always make it look fake.

I am a professional photographer and Gaffer(TV lighting)

I don't see anything "wrong" with the shadows and lighting. It is stylized. It is very intentional, and a popular "look" right now. Strong Natural backlighing with strong key fills. I just wrapped a shoot with Chevy/Rolling stone Mag and we shot the chevy trucks just like that.

I agree with Barker. I'm a professional designer and deal a lot with photography. This looks like an attempt at the "hyper-realism" trend that is popular right now.

The ONLY problem I have with the photo is that they cut off BUELL on the black bike.

The mirror is blocking the "Buell" on the Black bike's airbox cover.

The Buell on the black bike "Pops" out, therefore they should have shot it where it could be read instead of the yellow bike where the sun is hitting it and shining. Just me being picky.

The only problem I see is that they PS'd the "Hot Chicks on Buell's" out of the pic!!

Hmmm, I may be being dense here, but why didn't they just place the bikes & take a picture? not complicated enough? not enough dosh to be made that way?

Toona, you have the right idea.
