June 8 - The Good Kind of Dust

June 8 - The Good Kind of Dust, originally uploaded by wasabi_peas.

This photo is sort of embarrassing.

Some people hate it when others see their messy house. Me, I'm fine with the messy house, but for someone to see my neglected ride? Just not enough hours in the day for tons of riding, let alone the toothbrush treatment on the Park stand. Music blasting. Black Butte Porter underneath. The smell of citrus degreaser.

Strobist info: Single umbrella camera left and low. Vivitar 285 on Cactus trigger. I wanted some shadows for detail, but diffused, soft light on the large bits. Wanted to show the quality of the machining but also the texture of our great Central Oregon volcanic dust.
