Just As I Snap the Shutter Release...

...she rides into the frame!

Huntington Beach Pier, yesterday at about 5 in the afternoon.

Oly XA with expired Ilford HP5 that I processed in Rodinal.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Ah ha, of course that's how it happened!

Good job the Oly has a wide-ish lens Brian!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Perfect in every way.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Haha
she looks as though she picked that bike to specifically help with the flattering posture

The best thing about this photo is the people looking down from the bridge ...
There is a nice interaction there -1 bloke taking a photo... 3 blokes looking at a woman with a tats on parade ... and a woman looking at a man taking a photo of awoman with her tats on parade ... whilst her husband is one of the three aforementioned men
Thats how I see it anyway

 

[Dan Cattermole]

It's amazing how many people are looking at the bike.... I mean, if you look hard enough. You can almost see the bridge!
Great shot Brian, what a great compositional 'mistake'

 

[Dave Green]

Bike? What bike?

Bridge?

Nice shot!

 

[Pete Askew]

Lucky she didn't completely obscure the oil drum. Would have ruined the composition completely! And I can see why you'd want a shot of a cash-back deal like that!!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks everyone. (Considering she spoiled my original vision for this composition, I appreciate your kind words.)

 

[Glen Roberts]

There's a couple of things I like in this picture but I can't put my finger on them...

I want to be reincarnated as a bicycle saddle in Huntington Beach Pier.............................
