made in India, eh?, a photo from Kerala, South

Photographer's Note

The Royal Enfield Cycle, more specifically the Bullet 350 cc is a single cylinder model with gears on the right and brakes to the left. It is the only motorcycle produced today in the exact manner as it was fifty years and more ago. You could describe it as "tried and tested". It incorporates a circuit breaker ignition, and definitely there is a cachet in owning and operating one - as seen in Fort Kochi.

Dear Ken,
Most humbly sharing this thought and idea. Hope you do not feel offended. Its a great bike indeed. But photographing a bike like this which is a heavy bike(Harley of India)needs a bit of technique. See my upload kindly. When we shoot brut bikes like these, the idea is to over emphasize on the heaviness of the size and the brutality of the beast. To do this it is often seen that taking the shot from a very lower angle exaggerates the size and built and the shot comes out speaking the true character of the bike. In this case, the shot being from a higher angle is not showing the character of the bike. Also, the light god was not kind to you.Hope you will see my post of a similar bike and that would make myself clear.
Cheers and I liked your note.
Regards,
Satyakki
