Picture 11 of 37 from Album Single In September

3M A5 MC 500mm Day 21

This picture is a metaphor for photography... Sometimes it is nice to have the fancy new SUV (That would be a K5 in my world) or sometimes it is nice to do some work and peddle your own photography (say a nice KX with a manual lens) but sometimes the hill is just so damn big... it is easier to go back to first principles and walk (35mm film with manual focus lens on 40 year old body)

Using this old lens has become like a good walk to me... never does you wrong... sometimes you can do better... but seldom worse...

That's an interesting use of DOF. It makes the bike-pusher quite anonymous, even partially removed.

You did a nice job with an everyday scene by composition choices and the B/W conversion.

Like the photo, love the commentary. This is my favourite part of this challenge. Getting into the head of the photographer to understand the content of the image and what s/he is trying to say....and well said here!!!!
