Flickr a Day 54: Harley Riders

I chose today’s selection, by Andrea La Rosa, for composition and use of black-and-white photography. The sky could be a painted movie-set backdrop, and it is perfect emotive canvas. The pic juxtaposes Day 53—motor- and pedal-powered bikes.

Andrea shot self-titled “Harley Riders” in Wyoming on Aug. 25, 2011, using Nikon D7000 and 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. Vials: f/5.3, ISO 320, 1/2500 sec, 95mm. He is from Palermo, Italy, where he still resides. For more-recent photos in the Flickr stream, he uses the Leica M4, with a variety of lenses. Andrea joined Flickr in September 2009.
