This was the trophy awarded to John's father, Burt Munro in recognition of his exploits!. Burt was inducted into the American Motorbike Hall of Fame in 2006 but it took another 10 years before the guys in NZ decided they had better do this!
Its a lovely crystal affair and I put it in the window to shoot. It took a lot of work as there seemed to be noise in the shot no matter what I did. Still not sure how to get this clear or perhaps fuzzy behind!
Glad at last Bert Munro has been recognised in his own country. Try photographing this against a black background three-quarters lit by a Led light - a good Led torch would do.
@vignouse My husband also told me to put a black board behind it but I wanted to capture the light reflection in the trophy. But your light suggestion might do that too!
you have done well photographing this. I find these sorts of shots difficult. There was a quiz on TV the other week and the question was where was Burt Munro born and it is only through following your project that I knew the answer - you learn lots here about all sorts of things.
