_DSC0270-150On a recent plant visit, our good buddy Lupe was putting a newly-assembled Greaser through its paces prior to delivery.   I had my Nikon with me and, well, you know what that means.   I grabbed more than a few photos.

Lupe, our  master moto maestro and motorcycle model, was happy to cooperate, and I grabbed a few photos of her as well as the brand new CSC-150 Greaser.

I couldn't decide which of my two photo subjects was prettier...Lupe or the new CSC.   It's really not a fair contest, as your emails to me asking "where's Lupe?" would indicate.

To my surprise, the photo of the Greaser was a bit out of focus.  Wow, that doesn't happen too often, and far be it for me to put a blurry photo on the blog.   So I started playing with the Greaser photos a bit in Photoshop.   Photoshop has a lot of built-in special effects, and after fooling around for awhile, these two emerged as my favorites....the colored pencil effect, and the glowing edge effect...

Now, Lupe...well, she doesn't need any help at all from Photoshop.  I've got a lot of photos of her, and these are a couple of my favorites...

That's it for now, folks.  I'll have more photos of another one of Steve's Aermacchi Harleys coming up soon here on the blog, so stay tuned!
