it is a good feeliing...


to set up the shot
then to capture the shot
without even looking at the display screen after the shot was taken
I knew I got what I was seeking

like a fisherman spotting a large splash from a large fish across the pond
then migrating over there and making a play for that fish
then to get a bike and set the hook
confident that this fish will be in your hands
only to have that hook released and set free to be caught another day

sure enough...
I got the shot
nothing magical
but the shot I was trying to create

cyclist in focus... 
background displaying motion
by being out of focus
the scan and pan
