Chopper show during Bike Week Daytona Beach


a grab shot as she walked by (more info)

One of the daily chopper shows held on the Boardwalk. The Hell Angels and Outlaws are essentially gone and replaced by high spending yuppies and professionals.  They ship their bikes down, fly in, and dress up. They think nothing of spending $30,000-$50,000 for a custom made chopper.  At least, the lady in the photo was a older real hard core biker chick.

interesting, but why did you cut off her head?

I just did not think it was an important element in the photo. And, I'm all for leaving out as much that is not needed. Including her head would have made the photo be about her and drawn attention away from the choppers and the two guys looking at them. As it is, the logo on her shirt identifies where the scene is but that's all.

And, she was not posed there. I just saw her coming, visualized this framing, positioned myself, focused and made the shot as she walked in front of me.
