Christmas Bike

All around Australia Toy Runs are happening, where motorcyclists gather and give presents to charity for redistribution to those in need. Some riders go all out. Hardware: Olympus EP-1, 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Exposure: ISO100, 1/10s @ f/19, 14mm (28mm eq) Post: Nothing of note.

Fast Food…

I focussed on the toast and set a long shutter speed to blur Damien’s hands. His face isn’t sharp because he’s moved during the exposure, rather than a lack of depth of field. Hardware: Olympus E-P1, 17mm f/2.8 (monochrome in camera)Exposure: ISO200, 1/20s @ f/7.1Post: Crop, increase contrast.

End of the line…

The bicycles pointing at the island draw the eye through this image. Hardware: Olympus E-P1, 17mm f/2.8 Exposure: ISO100, 1/350s @ f/9.5 Post: Mono preset (red filter), increase contrast, sharpen

The Ride

To freeze the riders’ hair and legs I chose a very high shutter speed. Hardware: Olympus E-P1, 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Exposure: ISO200, 1/3000s @ f/5.6 Post: Crop, dodge, sharpen
