This part of the Summer always finds me pressed for time. Normally, I like to ride early in the morning or late in the afternoon, to take advantage of the beautiful soft lighting conditions. But sometimes the only ride available takes place directly under the harsh mid-day sun.
On days like that, I often resort to black & white photography, because it emphasizes the sharp contrast found under such conditions. Sunday's ride did not disappoint...
Beautiful bike and great shots! I take my camera on most rides, too, but I never thought of shooting black and white in bright sun-- thanks for the tip! Also, I've been looking at getting a set of H Plus Son wheels for my '79 Fuji Royale-- how are you liking them??
Morning ride all over Bloomington!
