Biker

Carlsbad, CA

Passed this guy getting ready to fire up his bike, and
I asked him if I could take his picture. I've never done
that before with a total stranger, let along a biker dude!
He said yes, I snapped, and here's the result. Yes, too
much of a snapshot, but it's my PaD, and I'm sticking to it.

In answer to Carlos' question below, I applied the "Stamp"
filter in Photoshop Elements.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Were you wearing your patch? He was probably afraid to say no !!!
This is very cool - I've already gone into Pshop and played with it.

Very cool Gary! I have been trying to get my brother (a Harley man) to do a photo shoot. I guess if the bike comes out, it's to ride and not stand around taking pictures of.

Nice post processing! I bet the guy would love a copy of this, as well as the original. I'm not brave enough to ask permission yet, so I miss a lot of good opportunities!

Much decision is needed to do this my friend. I`ve never done that till now. And I should admit that for not doing that, I`ve missed many photo ops with very interesting subjects!! So you got your award here. I think the final result is fantastic. What kind of filter did you aply?
