Neon Ride

Not a strict photograph but I liked the print it made. This is a shot of my bike up at Valley of Fire the night of the perseid meteor showers in August. (You can still barely make out the meteor in the upper left.)

I got tired of trying to clean up the image and just applied the "Glowing Edges" filter for fun. The image looks great at 8.5 x 11 and I expect it would make a good poster size print as well.

Here is the original image:

The Moon was just rising over the hills behind me and lighting up the rocks in the background. I washed the bike with an LED flashlight during the 30 second exposure. Unfortunately the bike was out of focus. Otherwise I was happy with the picture.
