back on the bike *

Chisec, Guatemala

I really donīt have any choice since itīs my primary mode of transportation but the two weeks of binge eating back in the states definitely make it necessary.

Canon EOS 350D ,Canon EF 35mm f/2
2s f/10.0 at 35.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I have a bike like this, but the cogs haven't turned for months and it has had more use as a laundry horse! I totally understand the need for movement... great! - Steve

It sounds like i´d be able to please everyone by just doing a static version of this picture but it´s really not what i´m going for so it looks like you´re all stuck with this one! at least armin likes it:-) jano, this bike is a Giant. i haven´t done any reconnaissance missions into your garage yet but don´t worry they´re coming soon. leave out some cookies and milk:-) thanks all for the input.

The color version is better, but I still would like the blue holding frame to be static. \Oved

This isn't a Canondale is it? It looks like you went into my garage and shot this :) jano

Still a bit crazy but I think it's improved. The color of this bike is what attracts the eye. Have you thought about just taking a still shot? I think the rusty chain will compliment nicely. Either way, I'm a sucker for blue. :) ~Britt

Image replaced. Thanks all for the critique and encouragement to reshoot. I like this one a lot better. I think the pedal was really getting in the way of what I was going for. - atothev

I really didn´t want anything to be in focus or clear on the shot but it looks like it´s really not working. Too me it looks like the pedal is too far out of focus drawing attention away from the rest of the picture. i´ll reshoot it today and hopefully get it up tomorrow. - atothev

Ditto..i love the resolution and the idea, but I think a reshoot is in order here. Love the color of blue though!

My only thought is that something needs to be in focus here - I think it is an idea that could be improved upon. jano

I too like the idea. Would agree it would be swell if the bike frame was in focus while pedals show the motion.

quite dynamic motion shot. although i wish your frame was in focus without blur and only padel was showing the movement. nice idea for sure. -Abstract
