Not what I expected

December 10, 2014

I always get excited when the Lone Star Rally comes to town. I've been taking pictures for some time at the yearly rally and posted about it here and here. Again this year, I planned to add more images to my ongoing project of Motorcycle Abstracts, but a funny thing happened. I only took two pictures of motorcycles. Instead, I took pictures of the hot rod and car show being held at the rally. I find it interesting how quickly my focus changed course and I believe it was a good thing.

Lone Star Rally

November 8, 2014

From the rumble heard all around Galveston, it's evident that the Lone Star Rally has made it's way back to the island. Although not a biker myself, I've always been a big fan of the rally because it brings such an interesting and diverse crowd. I've been taking pictures at the rally just about every year and am looking forward to this afternoon to attend again. I've put a collection of those pictures together for anyone that is interested. It is a FREE pdf and is available at this link: Motorcycle Abstracts Free Download As always, comments are appreciated

Once a year, Galveston hosts a fairly large motorcycle rally, It's called the Lone Star Rally. According to their website, more than 400,00 people attended last year. The entire downtown area is filled with the roar of Harleys and bikers having a good time. It's a lot of fun, and a great oppurtunity to take pictures. The images below were taken a couple of years ago, right after I got might first DSLR camera. I was still shooting film up until then. Needless to say, I was doing a lot of experimenting with the camera, and afterwards with Adobe Lightroom. I'm looking forward to this years rally to go out and mingle among the exotic bikes and masses of people.
