PULSAR 200RS Phnom Penh

The image requirements were to photograph the bike against nighttime Phnom Penh backgrounds, no composites this time. It was a simple set up, I used a off camera Canon Speedlight with a large flash bender attached to light the bike.

There are not many choices for iconic land marks in PP and it was rather tricky with rush hour traffic swerving around us and beeping at us, plus some building's lights didn't switch on until complete darkness. We tried Central Market as well, it would have made a great shot but the building's lights were extremely dim compared to the bike lights. Also the market had half it's lights missing, typical in Cambodia, when something breaks it doesn't get fixed for a long time if at all. Could have done with some ND gels cut to fit the bike lights. Although it looks fine with the blown out headlight effect.

Bunsak But assisted me on this one as well as managing the final composite and retouch. Nice one mate!
These shiny bikes are tricky to light. We used a makeshift white tent to surround the bike. Unwanted reflections, reflections, and more reflections!!
