The road is the way for our imagination...to our dreams. I love to be on the road! Shot taken on U.S. route 1.

Ghost Rider by Rush

Pack up all those phantoms
Shoulder that invisible load
Keep on riding North and West
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider

Carry all those phantoms
Through bitter wind and stormy skies
From the desert to the mountain
From the lowest low to the highest high
Like a ghost rider

Keep on riding North and West
Then circle South and East
Show me beauty but there is no peace
For the ghost rider

Shadows on the road behind
Shadows on the road ahead
Nothing can stop you now

There's a shadow on the road behind
There's a shadow on the road ahead
Nothing can stop you now

Sunrise in the mirror
Lightens that invisible load
Riding on a nameless quest
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider

Just an escape artist
Racing against the night
A wandering hermit
Racing toward the light

From the white sands
To the canyon lands
To the redwood stands
To the barren lands

Sunrise on the road behind
Sunset on the road ahead
There's nothing to stop you now
Nothing can stop you now

hi Carlos,
love this shot, the poem fits the mood very well, exactly what I's want to right now, instead of having another day in the office... "Riders on the Storm" by Doors is what comes to mind looking at this photo.
smart idea to use the silhouette of the rider to hide the sun and to avoid possible overexposure. but I also thing that just the silhouette works better, more details might be distractive. really great shot, I like it a lot.

with best regards,
Kristine

Olá Carlos,
genial sunset sobre ruedas!! el romanticismo propio de los anocheceres queda compensado por el trio de motoristas que añaden el toque práctico a la escena.
Geniales las siluetas negras contrastado con las tonalidades doradas del cielo. Gran dinamismo!!

Un abraço desde Catalunya,

Jordi

PD: gran canción.....

A real beauty Carlos. Stunning golden colours - and clever use of the bike to block the harshest rays of the sun - leaving a nice "aura". Well thought out composition to include the telegraph wires.

Best regards, Roberto

Olá Carlos,
great mood behind and the colour spots in that more or less brown light work excellent. A strong feeling for the position of the bikes and the wires.
I like this.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Carlos, una puesta de sol muy original
y distinta a muchas otras a las que estamos acostumbrados a ver,
los motoristas a contraluz tapando
la cegadora luz
del sol y esos cables del tendido
eléctrico dando soporte y
equilibrio a la composición,
me gusta mucho tu trabajo,
felicidades.

Un saludo y hasta pronto.

ola carlos

i love this one. the low POV, the silhouetted riders, the copper cast sunset behind. pure pleasure, friend! good idead to use the panoramic crop too (enhancing the riding feel). i guess, i would be happier if the wires were not there on the left, but i guess, that could not have been avoided.

my compliments,
kristaps

Olá Carlos,
Linda foto, com esta silhueta e as cores do céu, num dia quase noite!
Gostei da poesia, combinação perfeita com a foto!
Também gosto duma estradinha, caro amigo!
É isso aí!
Abração,
Neyvan

Ola Carlos,
the idea was great and the result very good, the light here is ideal to give this excellent atmosphere.
Cheers

Tremenda foto, Carlos. La imagen es parte una historia... con musica y todo. Soy un gran fanatico de Rush. Excelente decision.
Un saludo,
Enrique

Olá Carlos,

This is in my neighborhood, so to speak, and it is a superb shot. It leaves much to interpretation, as most good artwork should. The silhouette against the glow of the distant setting sun is surrealistic in its quality.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Carlos,
Light in the sky is just great, bit dark and could use some more detail (some light on the road) at the lower section, but the bikers and the lines in the sky at the left make a nice balance in this shot...
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Oi amigo ,
Linda composição com o pôr do sol gostei muito das silhuetas dos motoqueiros , beleza de cores , boa técnica de captura , fizeste um bom trabalho de Ws de clonagem de fios , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Oi Carlos,
Uma foto extremamente nostálgica e romântica.Quem não daria tudo para estar nessa estrada? Linda canção bem condizente com o tema.

Abraços
Maria

Oi, Carlos,
Que foto!!! O resto, é bobagem. Nada mais a declarar. Que dinamicidade, está uma tomada cinematográfica. Simplesmente, esplêndida. Foi ótimo vc ter colocado o motoqueiro contra a luz máxima, pois, assim, evitou a superexposição. Smart! Parabéns. Um abraço, Consuelo

Olá Carlos,
muito legal essa foto, e no momento exato, pois evitou a superexposição do sol além de criar uma bela silhueta do motociclista, gostei.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hello Carlos,
Nice shapes and silhouettes of the riders - especially the one in the middle. Nice low POV with attractive yellow of the sunset. Have a nice weekend. Regards. Latiff.

Oi Carlos,

Adoro a idea e a composicao com os postes ao lado direito e o motociclista bem ao centro da luz, como que sobre um cannon de luz no palco! So achei um pouquinho escura, mas pode ser minha tela que esta dando reflexo.

Abracos,

Flavia

helo Carlos

alain

Olá Carlos,
"pra" mim que já andei muito de moto, aqui você registrou o que há de melhor em curtir passeios de moto. Ou seja, curtir a natureza. E aqui o céu ficou convidativo para "acelerar" na rodovia.
Parabéns,
Wagner.

Hello Carlos,
The low point of view makes this a great shot, as the silhouetted bikers ride into the sunset..!
Great composition and fine light well recorded!

Hola Carlos,
Una toma muy original y bien compuesta. Me gusta como el último motorista nos tapa el sol y todas las siluetas se recortan contra él.
Excelente foto amigo.
Cordialmente
Charo

Hi Carlos,
This is an original shot of a sunset! The motos add a lot of dynamism... We would like to go with them and cross the wind.
I like the ws a lot.

Really cool shot, Carlos. You have a good eye for these moments. Composition is top-notch. I think the posts and wires fill the void on the left nicely, and they do not interfere with the mood. Regards,

hej Carlos .
there's a lot of rock poems that's spinning around in my head as well.

Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin',
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

otherwise a moody motorcycle image you almost could hear the sound of those shiny machines.
Anders

hello Carlos
waow!Very nice shot!I like the halo of light around the first person!The bright clouds in the dark sky make a splendid effect,and the blue and red small light too!Very well done!
Regards.
Pascale

Hello Carlos. A top quality image from a master here. Awesome perspective and stunning view from low angle. Lovely image and thanks for sharing. Have a nice day. Jusni

The tones and hues make this shot.Beautiful warm color tones and shades you have captured. Superb exposure and composition.

Amicalement ,

François.

Beautiful rich dark tones.. Excellent! Regards, Doug

hi amigo,
what i especially liked here is the soft dusk colors and the brake lights of these motorists giving the 'light' and soul to the capture! the silhoutte is stunning as well, a very clever idea to put one of them against the bright sun and get this easy-on-the-eye effects.
parabens and TC

(sorry been not so TE-active lately..work, work...:-( and i feel i am getting the flu waking-up today)...

Carlos,
"belido-ssimo" trabalho. Impressionante o equilibrio de cores com esta foto tirada contra o sol. Vejo voce deitado no chao com a camera colada no asfalto e esperando estes caras passarem para apertar a camera no momento mais oportuno. Perfeito!
Peter

Awesome shot, Carlos!
The light is simply out of this world, and I love
those two red & blue spots on them bikes...
Perfectly framed, exceptional overal definition!
I'll have a beer to this one muy pronto... cheers!
Have a wonderful day, I'll see you soon.
Ciao,

Bonjours,
belle photo de ce coucher de soleil sur ces motards qui sont bien visible en ombres chinoises devant cette lueur solaire.
Beau ciel et bel effet de cette lumière douce sur ces motards et cette vue.

Amitiés Thomas
