Motorcycle on ebay
Is it me or does it look like a miniature ?
I think it's just an unintentional trick of the light but it looks like it's a model.

Real Bike: But it is the kind of effect; professional photographers spend hours trying to achieve.
by the colour and angle of the lighting projected onto it. But this chap seems to have managed it by pure fluke!

Strange huh ?
Being a petrolhead/motorcyclist I look at hundreds of bikes on t'net but I've never seen this happen before. Even the close-up shots of the engine make it look like a model.

I think it helps that the camera is weirdly out of focus
I notice that you often see people on ebay flogging cars and bikes for £500 or £1000+...
Now if I was trying to flog something for anywhere near this price I would not try to represent it via the meduim of camera phone photos taken in the middle of the bleeding night, only illuminated by a torch my mate is holding. For the money I would try to put a bit more effort in....maybe it's just me?

But with some practice, it's easier to do than you think
