In other news, i held a Mark II today ;p i was taking photos (along with a gazillion others), and this group of tourists decided that i looked like i knew what i was doing and asked me to take their picture with one of the guys' cameras... WANT!

tx for all the nice and helpful feedback on my knightmares shot... clearly i still have things to learn with PSE!
wonderful memoirs

Maddest bike rack ever. :)
Every time I think about upgrading to full frame, I remember I'd have to sell most of my lenses and that usually kills that idea. ;)
October 11th, 2013  
Wow... so damn cool. Fav.
October 11th, 2013  
Looks like a version of one of those commuter bike racks they have outside stations - except beautifully organised and spaced!

Fabulous image! Did you tell the biker to pose in there like that? Just terrific!
October 13th, 2013  
@espyetta nope... as it happens, he posed his bike and took a photo of his bike with the installation - i missed a chance of getting a good angle on that happening... then he walked away thru the installation and i started clicking... and he just happened to look up - just luck ;p
