does anyone know why the pictures of cvos on the hd website never truly represent what the colors on the bikes truly look like. pics from the members who post there pics are much better or seem so to me. just wondering!

My guess is they are computer renditions and not pictures of the actual bikes. With all the technology that is available today I'm thinking the designers are creating these pictures with some software as "this is what the bike will look like". Then once the bikes become available and we see "live" pictures of them they are totally different.

thanks firedood! I guess my next question which i know u probably have no way of knowing is why so many pics on the hd website which does not truly represent the actual colors.why not use actual on site photos? all the members shots seem to represent the bikes much better which is what makes this site such a great site

My guess would be.....a professional photographer uses artificial lighting, filters, etc.   Our photos are with natural light and no filters, for the most part.

The MoCo could sure do a better job in this area.

I beg to differ. I am almost certain that the pictures from the designers have been photoshopped using Apple Mac's, and most of us are looking at the pictures on Windows machines. There is a substantial difference in the color palette used between Mac and Windows, and most Mac pictures look "just not right" on Windows machines (while most photos and pictures look way better and Macs). In addition the professional photographer may use differents lights and backgrounds from what they use in processing the pictures. But all in all, those are true photographs when they start their lives.

For sure the wallpaper of the Spiced Rum in front of Nino's is a photo. Remember the "spy" shots posted here earlier this year? That's the shot.
