The Couple

La Jolla, CA

"A funny thing happened to me on my way to my PaD." My plan was to shoot the cross on top of Mount Soledad above La Jolla ... and in fact I did that. However, as I was leaving a group of bikers came into the area to see the sights. I happened to catch this couple in a moment of affection. It is too good for me not to post it as Saturday PaD!

Week #5


other sizes: small medium large original auto

I remember seeing this shot back when you took it. I liked it then and I like it now. Few things share better with a happy couple than a putt down the pike on a motorcycle.

This is awesome! I would worry about sneaking up on bikers :-)

Nice capture and nice composition. Me, I'm a bit shy about sneaking up on bikers and taking their photo.

Robin ... I was about 150 feet away using my 135mm (200 equiv) lens, and a raw setting on the camera which gave me 240 dpi. This enabled me to do a pretty tight crop.

Excellent! The pose and the composition with the motorcyle are wonderful. How far away were you and did they see you?

They are probably devoted to their bike, but even more so to each other. This you have captured so very well.
