Sorry to burst everyone's bubble. Actually, I had my camera in my left hand and was holding on for dear life with my right hand. I usually hold my camera right handed, so it was a bit of a chore to get the left hand on the shutter release in the vertical position. I wanted the shadow of my arms on the handle bars, and since my left arm was not showing in the shadow, I decided to use it to hold the camera. I took quite a few shots with two cameras. I haven't developed the B&W ones yet, but the are not Leica (Rollei SL-35). Neighbor thought I was crazy going back and forth in front of his house. It was the only stretch of unpateched asphalt long enough I could find in the right direction for the sun. I hope this disclosure doesn't detract from your appreciation of the photo. If it does, just ignore everything I just said, and I was indeed riding hands-free. :-) >Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 07:09:04 +0200 > From: Nathan Wajsman <wajsman@webshuttle.ch> > Subject: Re: [Leica] OK.
