The Beach Race by maggiemae

The Beach Race

This guy had finished the beach race which was for 50 miles. The ones who fell by the wayside ran out of fuel, or the motorbikes gave up. The ones left were madmen competing against each other for the trophy. The sea swept relentlessly in towards the race track.


Three good things:
1. My new camera this year captured better photos with its zoom of the flying bikes.
2. Drinks at the Lone Star courtesy of a publishing group who won a prize for the round of wines. All young, female and beautiful!
3. An event in the hotel for Motorcycle Legends talking about their lives. Crazy men!
Great shot Maggie... I am looking careful at your photo's as I am sure my Motor bike mad nephews would be there somewhere..

Nice shot, Maggie. Very cool processing. How'd you do it? Is it an HDR processing from another program or some other effect? I like it.
