 Moterheads are everywhere its definatley a pop culture. went to a bike gathering of moterheads and started shooting
there were several good shots but i thought this was a good one.. i would like to have gotten a shot with a lot of people around the bikes but i had to go. anyway i shot at a shutter speed of 800 it was a little cloudy and 5.6 fstop with a iso of 200.. i only shoot manually.. cropped, dodge and burn, a few brush strokes, levels, color balance, hue sat, my little concoction of grunge and wala.. a Michale Angelo is born.. ha just kidding... hope you guys like it



well i guess i really blew this one.. oh well...thanks for the tips everyone

Morning Flash,
Concept is nice, to much grunge. The building looks out of place along with the tires on the rare of the trailer. The piece of paper in the back ground in front of building is distracting. The wind sheild on the other bike gives the impression it is dirty, not grunge. The back ground is to busy eye keeps wondering. The black line along his leg takes out part of his leg. I would have liked to see more detail in the bike & he seems distracted by something to his right.

Interesting post processing, I like the balanc between the chopper and the picture, the secojnd chopper adds clutter though i think

The grungish kinda processing works well for this shot. Definitely a culture unto itself, isn't it.

I like the processing, but the background is busy and distracting
