Enduro Rider

[Julian de'Courcy]

Got chatting to an Enduro rider a couple of days ago. Took this photo prior to a conversation. A serious rider who'd won a few big competitions. Asked his name so I could google and add info to the pic. Five minutes after leaving I forgot his name. The fisherman is Bob

Lovely stuff Julian. B&W works well here and really keeps the attention on the rider and Bob. And I like that they are looking out to sea; one gazing and the other more business-like. Nice.

Thanks Pete, the fisherman was an accident. I had the camera on the tripod, with a timer, plus me messing about , he walked into the scene un-noticed to myself.

A definite bonus.

The yellow lines and bench really pull you in to the rider. It helps that both guys are looking in the same direction, almost.

Yes, it did tell me though how unobservant I can be at times. I have before come home with decent images because I had captured something not realising at the time.

This is the pic that I was concious about taking, I then often take a second which is the first one posted, or visa versa in timeline.

Thanks Rob, thank goodness for yellow lines eh. I think the colour version he was sitting there while they painted them

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice also and I like the lines on his jacket!

NO WAY!!! Was that not Jude's Restaurant in the background? Which is now 2 shops I see?? Lol.
When we stopped down there, I remember that bench being rammed with people on there and a seagull flew over and drop a huge load across at least 6 pensioners........... Nature can be harsh sometimes...
It was literally after I took this shot...
