Old bearded fellow had his motorbike up on the sidewalk at the local supermarket.

Vivitar PN2011 with flipped lens. Fuji Superia 400 film (expired).

Haha!! Send that to the police!! Lol. Great capture. Who needs police cameras? I've noticed you've used expired film (which is something I've never done) does it make a difference with the final result?? I was debating whether I should buy some expired film from eBay? Should I do it?

Ah ha - nice capture - how come you were ready with the camera?

What causes the distortion? was the lens flipped or something. Its like half fisheye, half toy camera and IMO a nice interesting way to add a frame in the image.

Dan,...Thank you. With expired film you run the risk of color shift or worse. I'd want to know how the film has been stored before I bought it.

Chris,...Thank you. I had the camera in my pocket as I was walking toward the supermarket. I saw the old geezer ride up and just took the snap. Truth is, though (full disclosure coming up), that he was actually just parking the bike when I snapped him. But I was lucky enough to get him on film before he dismounted, so it actually could look like he was zipping along the sidewalk. (However, he's not supposed to park there either!)

Paul, Thank you. It is indeed a flipped lens. It distorts light near the edges very nicely in my opinion.
