Inspiration

There were two pictures from this blog that I really liked. The first one caught my eye because of the contrast between the light and the cyclist, as well as the framing. I like the fact that you can see a road marking because it makes it seem real and like it was taken in the moment. This is also a result of the slight tilt in the picture and that the cyclist isn't quite centered. I'm not sure what is overhead in this picture, but my eye was immediately drawn to it.

The longer you look at this picture, the more you notice. At first the awning and couple under it stand out, but then your eyes drift to the stranger walking by, the silhouette of a bicycle. After a while you take in the smaller details like the windows above the shop, and the door next to it. This picture captures one moment, and the way the couple are framed makes it look like they are frozen there, just watching the world go by. The backlighting wasn't too bright, so they aren't complete silhouettes which only adds to it.
