The Tauranga Custom
Motorcycle Show was held at the Racecourse on Cameron Road. You
can check out the official website and history for the Tauranga
Motorcycle Show with this years winning entries and results.
She was one of two
photographers for this event and although she was challenged with
the dim lighting situation, Brigit produced some nice shots of the
show bikes in this awesome bush theme. The bark, native ferns, shrubs, grasses and cascading walls of
water flowing over metal with soft coloured lighting made this
atmosphere feel like you'd just walked into a Kiwi House or the
bush just on dusk.
Harley History in New Zealand
is something Brigit loves to find and she got a little bit of a
surprise to see two 1920's Harleys. At first glance she
thought she'd once photographed these two old Harleys (1918
HeadVTwin F18 and a 1929 Peashooter Model S) in a showcase at Te
Papa (Wellington) for the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Expo
2003 until she compared the photos and realised these were four
very different early models of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. No
doubt, she'll be checking those bikes for some history on them.
Brigit's made two
music clips for the Tauranga Motorcycle show which includes her
exclusives of the winning custom motorcycle known as 'Rolling
Thunder'. For the owner (C-Tin) and everyone at H.D.Cycles,
including Brigit who had front rows seats to capture the
winning bikes and owners receiving their prizes were stunned when
'Rolling
Thunder' got both Top American motorcycle and Top Prize for Best Bike of the Show.
Brigit's best photo
for the day was also a winner and this was printed into a poster
by Big Posters of Hamilton for the owner of Rolling Thunder.
Brigit attributes this to her camera being fine tuned by the other
photographer (Mike) after prize giving where Brigit captured some
of her best shots of the show bikes when they were brought outside
after the show was finished. This was the
first photo Brigit took with the new settings, was of two
late model Harleys.
Many thanks to the
hosts for allowing Brigit to photograph the show and sharing her
photos with everyone in the site's gallery.
