Some fun shots I got today. My brother's and I were riding around the lake and decided to take a detour. :)

ha ha is that supposed to be nitrous on his bike??

that's a nice series, with a little retro pop to them. I love the capture of the muscles in his arms tightening when he's launching and then relaxing as he's flying into the lake.

I am guessing that the bike wants to sink and that bladder keeps it afloat or at least gives people something to retrieve it with.

Cool shots.

What did you do in PP to get the "retro" look? Love it.

It's SUPER easy. I just used a LR preset and called it good. :)

I don't think so. LR is an investment any serious photog should consider. It is truly the best bulk photo retouching and archiving tool available. Once you learn all the keyboard shortcuts and tricks you can sail through hundreds of edits per hour....incredible.

Plus it'll protect the family jewels in case of serious disaster. :dunno

Fun shots, the processing is perfect for the subject matter. Gives them a nice summertime feel.
