Week 3: Bright and Early, Ready to Ride

Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking a motorcycle riders course from Harley-Davidson and it was so much fun. The only thing is we started at 8am Saturday and Sunday so that was unfortunate as far as getting enough sleep. Anyways I showed up about 7:40 and the sun was just beginning to peak up over the horizon which allowed for this beautiful picture.

I really enjoyed the texture that came naturally from the sun light through the clouds. The colors produced were more on the lavender side with blues scattered throughout. I'm extremely interested in reproducing this look on a stage to see just how close I can get to making it look like the picture. I also like the little bit of hilation that is seen on the motorcycles as well as my instructor. The picture is a bit dim but it originally had a natural halo effect around him.
