early morning cyclist, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

In May northern countries like Sweden get 18 hours of daylight, perhaps even more. So while there's plenty of light at 5.00 am for instance, the streets are not exactly full of people. There is a intensive bicycle traffic, and it looks like most of the working class use this system to go to work.

Hi Master Izzet,

This is not a usual photo that we used to see from you. It smells like an intermediate shot. But very special in detail like using a blur object to give the motion.

Congrats,

Sarhan.

Lovely light and mood in this one, Izzet, well worth getting up early to shoot it. Good timing to have the bicyclist just where he should be in the compo, and also with just about the right balance between motion blur and retained detail. Nice one.

Dear Master,

A person on bicycle is one of my favorite’s scenes. As a bicycle rider it gives me freedom every time. You can feel wind of freedom on your face. I like the sky and clouds also blur rider front of other objects. Congratulations,

Best Regards,

Parbo

Update after 12 hours of my first entry: I look again to your photograph many times today and found a lot of occult details. Parapets, angles, road lines… Congratulations.
