Art & Inspiration My Photos of the KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular

This was my first Lead Sled Spectacular and it definitely surpassed all my expectations for seeing cool rides. Salina was definitely hot, but the trip was well worth it.

My photo gallery of it is underway and will grow a lot for the next week or so. I have lots of pictures coming, but this will give you a taste of what is to come.

Amazing amazing amazing!

 

Yes, amazing pics. Did you do a lot of editing? Or just camera settings?

 

There is a whole lot of stuff involved. First I try (LOL) to get a pretty clean pic in the first place. Many of them are HDR - ie made from multiple exposures at different lighting levels and combined by software to make one image that has better shadow and highlight detail than any of the original shots. Then I clean them up and in many cases try to do something artistic ( and sometimes crazy) with them in Photoshop and other software addins.

Thanks,
Dan

 

Got ya...Im trying to get better with my camera settings before chopping. But none of my stuff is near as nice as this

 

Extremely Fine Fotos. Thanks.
Krobe

 

Thanks Krobe. Also thanks because now I know more about your car, which I am sure you saw in the gallery.

 

It was nice meeting you and chatting last weekend. I've really enjoyed your photos and patiently waiting to see what else is up your sleeve so to speak.

 

Your gallery is amazing. Something for everyone! TTT to keep this going.

 

Thanks so much Denise, Larry and Truckster - The majority of this gallery is still coming.

 

Sorry. I did not get to meet you in Salina, ckustoms (Dave) has wanted to introduce us. Are you coming down for the Hot Rod Ho Down on Aug 7?

Thanks Rich and Von Richthofen for checking out the gallery.

DUDE, KILLER. You are a mad man. Guess where I gotta go next year? Thanks. Slim

 

Great shots ! I was there all weekend, but still missed seeing some of those rides !

The KKOA/Salina Event is ALWAYS the one to see in the Summer in the Midwest.

Great pics!! Any more of the green bat-winged truck???

 

Thanks so much everyone - glad you are enjoying them. There really are a ton more coming (including the green truck). As you can imagine, it takes quite a bit of work ( and time) to get them or at least many of them) to the state I think is good enough to go into the gallery. Darn full time job!

 

Damn man, art at its finest! Big Olds is lookin super swank in that shot, as are all the others. Thanx and I am diggin it. ~Sololobo~

 

Thanks Sololobo!!

 

If you havent checked out this gallery you are really missing some really wild art/pictures.
