Great shots John! I love the angles and tasteful edit.

Mind sharing a little on how you processed those? They have a very unique look to them. I really like these two

yah, finally got painted reflectors =) .. for awhile i wanted to just get rid of my whole front bumper because i had a license plate mounted...but I don't think i'll have any cash any time soon for an aftermarket front bumper..

i didn't really notice anything odd with the age of the people there.. i think it's normally this way .. too lazy to capitalize

gah.. I use adobe lightroom, you can screw with stuff ... in the first picture the black level is bumped up way high, increasing clairty a lot gives it that edgy/coarser look ... you just gotta play with the different adjustments, also helps to try different presets available out there that give their own little flavor to an image.. you can then kinda see what a picture looks like with their settings and then see what kinda changes were made and then change them further and learn how the different changes can make a picture look cool..i'm not adavanced enough to use adobe photoshop to make multiple multiple adjustment layers, lasso-ing out/isolating the subject, and all that jazz..nor do i get paid for doing this and would want to anyways..

I gotcha. I've never played around with lightroom; I've always used Photoshop. Is it easier to use? And from the way you're talking, I'm guessing its just for photo processing...?

Lightroom is a digital darkroom.. the photo with that red glass, you can go to the color channels and turn everything down except the red...so that'll give that effect... yeah it's mostly for photo processing, you can import images with it, make libraries to organize, edit photos, even have it upload to a website and make a slide show..
