    Bypassing

    Hi,

    Another one I took during my trip to Macau. The weather outside the window was good but there was a congestion on the road ahead. Comments and thoughts are welcome.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    Nice composition. the rider could do with a bit of fill in flash

    the horizon is not level but I don't mind that too much it makes the photo interesting as I can imagine you hanging out of the bus window taking the photo

    I love the lighting overall and the shadows are great

    Keep them coming.

    Thanks Roger. I'm using the Bessa R2 so it's a bit difficult to use flash, but certainly an SLR with flash will definitely help increase his exposure. Honestly maintainly level while minimising perspective distortion is the greatest challenge for using a 15mm lens. I will try to do that next time.

    Thanks a lot.

    To me it's fine as it is.
    With a 15mm lens, you can't keep very much straight at all !
    Also, I don't have the same fixation about level horizons that some people do
    True, more light on the rider might have shown a little more detail, but there is enough for me, and I know this monitor seems not set up right (or it's my eyes) to show deeo shadow detail.
