A Fire Plug in Despair

He couldn't join the Peloton for the morning race because he couldn't find the keys to unlock the bike. Worse still, he refused to admit that, as a fire plug, he had no legs anyway!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Oh, the slight pinkish cast is from a storefront window shinning on the bike. But it is white....and gorgeous...lol. I wanted to somehow title this, My White Bicycle....but could not find anything that worked.

Actually, this is a completely white bicycle...with black wheels. I thought it was cool the minute I saw it, and though it was cold, for CA, I walked back to the car to try to shoot it in some fashion...I wanted to unify a stop sign, the bike and the fire plug...this was not possible.

I also tried to use the popup flash....very unsuccessful. This was shot at 1600 iso and came out quite well I think...on the Ti4, an older camera, I was surprised how well this worked.

The dark image on the fire plug is a decal, a hand giving the finger as a Revolutionary statement of some sorts, I suppose.

A joyous holidays to everyone....everywhere!!!

As I look closer I noted apts the bike is white but there is a strong red/pink light from the camera right. I don't think a flash was used. Paul.

I am curious as to the nature of that dark image in the center of the fire plug. I would also like to know about the lighting. I don't see a shadow from a flash unit, but the bike is much brighter than its background.

Funny. Not for the poor legless fireplug, of course. A cute concept.

Is that bike really pink or is it just an illusion. Paul
