Saw this unique bike in Pioneer Square, made of high-tech composites. Asked and received permission from the cyclist to photograph the bike. I queried him on how it rode. He was much more interested in taking about my Leica. His English was far better than my Japanese. Pretty poor conditions for a photo. Sun at high noon. Backlit subject. Didn't turn out well, but I think with many cameras this wouldn't have turned out at all. At times you have to take what the light gives. That why I like Lieca gear. It handles nearly lighting situation better than most. R7, 35/2. Supra 400 (wish I'd had 100 as SS was maxed and still too much dof). http://www.lightcurves.com/images/bike_psq.jpg
