One Rainy Night

Today's theme is wheels. When we got back to Nanning after our time in Singapore and Hong Kong, the weather was wet, cold and gloomy. I like the effect in this photo though. I had to use a high ISO to get the right exposure and still get the cyclist without too much motion. this means its a little noisy , but it also helps to add to the effect. Details: f2.8 for 1/20 of a second with ISO640.

Reached #5 in Explore on 22 February 2008.

    Great composition! It has the feel of a scene in a Miyazaki's film.

    that's a great shot!!! looks like it's taken from a movie by Wong Kar-wai. His movies are a feast for the eyes - especially 2046.
    I love the red lanterns, the figure on the bike and the reflections.
