End of the Ride

Great capture and processing, Norm! Man, those are some HUGE trucks!

Thanks Valerie! :-)

Outstanding photo.

Thanks Don! :-)

FABULOUS!!!! i lOvE this!

Thanks Wendi! :-)

Wow! Amazing! Not sure if the person on the steps is too keen

Thanks Jan! :-) He is one of the workers and is waiting for the truck to come to a complete stop. Much better to get pitched off the middle of the ladder than the top of it! :-)

Fabulous shot and processing Norm ... love the helicopter sneaking into the frame too! :)

Thanks Paul! The helicopters were landing and taking off just the other side of the Monster Truck area. When I first started going to the auction ... you could go out to the airport and get a ride over the auction in an old Ford Trimotor.

That looks like a cool ride, almost as much fun as the monster trucks! :)

Oh ... I'd pay for a ride in the plane ... the trucks ... not so much!

The inclusion of the people really gives you the size of these huge vehicles. Great processing too.

Thanks Harriet! I had mixed feelings about the processing, but the bright sunshine made the original image look so flat ... I went ahead with it.

WOW, das sind ja Monster auf Rädern. Sehr imposant

Thanks Chrissy! :-)

Now those are monster trucks ... just look at those tires! The processing does work well Norm.
The Shredder appears to be giving rides with those folks in the back!. :)

Thanks Chris! No beach here, but the Shredder is giving rides ... short ones ... and keeping all four wheels on the ground! :-)

Oops, that should read back!

Page 6 Explore, Congratulations

Thanks Chris! Seems like I saw you on page two! :-)

I'm not sure if I want to take a ride on a "thing" called "Shredder" but a great shot! ;-DD

Thanks Dida! It was a pretty tame ride! I didn't go on it though ... looked too much like a tractor ride across a field and I've done plenty of that over the years! :-)

Nice one, Norm. Great in mono, love the composition.

They will even give you a ride? ... love the "boarding stairs", Norm ;-))

Yes ... they will give you a ride ... for a fee! :-) The people are belted into the truck like they are going to be jumping over hills, but it looks every bit like a ride across a field on a tractor to me! :-)

How much do they pay you? ;-)

love the tones in this, really suits the subject

Hey, it's my truck. ;)

It's always fun to see what you'll do Norm.

Beautifully captured.
Congrats on Explore.
