Cool and Gritty

I recently run across an interesting article from Scott Kelby on creating a cool gritty look. Scott puts out some great stuff on Lightroom and since I have just begun getting into using Lightroom more and more I thought I would give it a try on one of my BikeWeek Photos. Fairly easy to do if you have the right shot for it and can be easily tweaked to give it your own style. Here is my version but be sure to stop by his site and check out the article.

Bike Week

Found myself bored on a Saturday and realized it was Bike week in Daytona Beach. So I jumped in the car and ran up to Daytona for the afternoon shooting some bikes on the Main Street there. This was my first attempt at shooting bikes. I am pleased how they came out and want to give it another try in the future.
