While walking up Adams Avenue in my neighborhood of University Heights, today, I chatted with one of my sisters over the phone. Suddenly I heard, then saw, a massive pack of bicyclists speed past, turning onto Park Blvd. By the amount of time taken to go by, they numbered in the hundreds.
Caught off guard and fumbling, because of the phone call, I lost precious seconds deciding to pull round Nikon Zf and attached NIKKOR 40mm f/2 (SE) lens. The Featured Image and companion were captured, quickly, suddenly, with little preparation. Both are composed as captured. Had I more time and not otherwise been distracted, I would have slowed down the shutter speed for blurred motion shot.
Vitals, first: f/4, ISO 100, 1/1000 sec, 40mm; 12:18 p.m. PST. The second: f/10, ISO 100, 1/250 sec, 40mm; 12:18 p.m. Zoom in and pixel peek. Both photos are super sharp. Thank-you, Nikon. Why did I shoot Leica for so many years?
San Diego is adding bicycle lanes throughout the city as part of a strategy to, ah, drive out the cars.
