An absolutely beautiful day in NYC. Dry, sunny, and cool -- our first hint of coming autumn weather. I ended the afternoon sitting outdoors with a library book and a cup of coffee in a neighborhood public space. All summer I've been saying it's too hot to work on my apartment; now it is too nice to be indoors!

Today's bright sun was really glaring off this parked motorcycle, throwing off my camera's automated exposure meter. It gave me an opportunity to practice using manual controls.

I'm not sure what is reflected in the chrome, but (despite appearances) it is not my arm. I was actually seated some distance away.

You do such a nice job with the soft blurs in your photos. Love the reflection of light coming off the bike - gives it a magical touch.

Waaaay coooool. Those blurry, starlike reflections give it a life of its own -- and it's coming down out of the sky to get you....

I would never have guessed you didn't shoot manual all the time. Huh... you're cooler than I thought, :) Great handle of the reflections.

Very surreal and awesome. I'm all into reflections - whatever you did in PP, totally works. Great, great job!

I love motorcycles! More importantly, I love your shot of this motorcycle :-) I love the black background and all the shiny white and orange lights; best of all are the blue reflections in the bike... You've done it proud! Moreover, this shot takes me back to my younger days listening to Steppenwolf 'Born to be Wild'... Just LOVE it !!!
