    Long Beach Motorcycle Meet (picture heavy)

    Here are some pictures from the Motorcycle show in Long Beach that is free to the public. It was a lot of fun but I didn't charge my battery before and this is just some pictures I got before the battery died. very cool looking bikes on display and some for sale.













    Lots of cool seats and gas tanks...











    interesting people

    Very cool bikes... thanks for the pictures..

    I've been thinking about going to a bike/car show but something else always comes up and I can't go. I do want to plan to make at least one this year.

    Nice series of pic. Love the guy with the old movie camera.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks.

    James, you should go to these. There are a lot of other photographers there so it doesn't make you feel out of place. I know at times I can feel out of place.

    Old Timer- Lots of interesting people. Next time I'll try to be better prepared with a backup battery source to capture more.

    Yea, I know what you mean but I have to look for ones that aren't filled with crotch rockets and free is always better.

    thanks!

    I fixed was editing some of these a bit more and they look so much better once I dim down the blue hue that they have. Really makes them look a lot better.

    Those were just some of the seats. There are so many more that I wish I would have taken a picture of but my battery died. lots of fun though.

    Great post - great photos!

    Unlike James, I prefer motorcycles that have performance that can at least match their decible output

    That said, I like these photos a lot. I'm not much for Harleys or other big twin motorcycles. But I sure can appreciate the art in the machines you photographed, not to mention the obvious care you put into these photos. That first girl photo isn't bad, either

    Next time charge your batttery the night before!

    Oh yeah, I posted a link to this thread on the PhotographyREVIEW.com Facebook Page. I do that with Featured Photos and other stuff I think deserves some extra attention.
