As we were walking to the hotel and stopped, waiting to cross Michigan Avenue, we noticed this guy on a bike smoking a cigarette and balancing himself in one spot for what seem to be an eternity. While multitasking, he had many cars passing him left and right. I definitely think this is a talent but don’t think it’s a talent I want?
The shot was taken with my Leica M9 and 50mm summilux set at continuous shooting, f/1.4, and 1/45 shutter speed. Because of the low aperture and the small size of the camera I was able to successfully get this shot at such a low shutter speed. Last, I keep my camera on continuous shooting so that I have a better opportunity of getting a sharper image and catching the action act the exact, right time.

I must admit. I felt a fleeting moment of jealousy when I saw this photo. I wish I had taken it. Jealousy or envy …. Hmmmm. I’ll stick to photography and stay out of philosophy. Nice pic, fella!
Kathie thank you! We all come across shots we wish we had taken. I’m sure you have many, that others envy 🙂
