2011 365 Back Catalogue – Harley Street

This photo is half anticipation and have luck!

I was walking through Temple Bar Dublin on one of my trips into the city and I saw this guy preparing to get onto his Harley. The Thunder Road Cafe in Temple is a popular spot for Harley bikers. So I hung around a bit, set my ISO to 640 and set my focus using the hyperfocal distance for f/8. Shooting action with a Leica is not the easiest thing in the world so I was expecting to get a photo consisting of mostly motion blur. However, just as I panned the camera and snapped, the biker entered the focus sweet spot and the shot worked out.

Shot details :- ISO 640, 35mm, 0 ev, f/8, 1/60
