I have to agree with Paul here (although I recognize that I can be the
king of distracting backgrounds). Interesting lugs on that old thing.
Did you notice what make of bike it is?
I did, but have since forgotten. The model seems to be "International".
As I said, one of the things I learned that day is that short lenses
are good for including background. Part of that has to do with the
wider angle of view, part of that has to do with the greater depth of
field. In retrospect that shot would probably have been better with
the DA40 or even the DFA50, at a much wider aperture.
Looks like it's seen better days, but still, all bikes are beautiful
(in their own way). As Paul said, the framing of the bike is very
well done, and I like the conversion, too.
If you mean framing as in composition, thank you. If you mean framing
as in pretty lugs, I agree.
One of these days I should do some portraits of my legnano.
cheers,
frank
