Ghost Rider

38/365

With Shannon still away on her outing with the girls, I took the boys for a bike ride to a nearby park. My knee is still hurting, so it was a bit uncomfortable to ride, but in the end, I think the movement helped stretch things out.

Ever since I saw David's bike shot, I've wanted to try something similar. There's no rider in my version and the bike is mysteriously standing upright...hmm ;)

On the bike ride I spotted a few mushrooms, but when I went back later in the day with my macro lens, they had been trampled. I took a bunch of other nature/flower macro shots, but in the end decided to go with this one.

Camera: Nikon D90 | 70-300mm (ƒ/4.5-5.6) @ 300mm | ƒ/5.6 | ISO 200 | 1/200s

Ghost rider! Cool view of a bike. Don't normally see one from that perspective. It's nice with the touches of color in the yellow and red.

I really like this image as an abstract. Very strong lines and colors make the overall composition work beautifully. Great details too. Nicely done!

Nice perspective and focus, but what really caught my eye is the little bit of red on the frame and yellow on the pedals.
