Here's my first entry for this week's contest. This shot was taken on Yee Woo St. in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. 

Standing at a tram stop, I noticed this guy on his bike coming towards me. I quickly whipped out my phone and got a couple of snaps as he sped by. It kinda feels like I'm starting to be able to draw and shoot with my phone in a way that would put Clint Eastwood to shame ;) JK

Hope ya'll like it!

This was snapped on my LG V10 and edited in Lightroom

Almost forgot - OL #403979

Cheers all,

great shot @steememupscotty I really like the rust infused tracks drawing your eyes to the horizon.. what is he carrying ? that is perhaps the question ! posting this on the discord channel

Cheers - Yeah, the tracks are for the tram network, and as for the 'bags', hmmm, could be anything ;)

love the bags.. a real feature of the whole of South Asia / South East Asia; things hanging off handlebars which could be anything including.. as I saw in Thailand a whole family with dog on a scooter !

Too true! - with sparks flying off the road as the underbelly of the bikes grate the gravel and tarmac.

Love it! Great leading lines, and I like that his shirt colour kinda matches the rust on the tracks. In fact I like all the colours here - nice and vibrant without being over saturated. :)

Thanks so much @johleen - A right place at the right time kinda shot. But that's cool. I think I'd just watched an incredible little Youtube doc (made in'73) a few hours before. Please please watch this if you haven't already. Here's the link

Ugh!! Love this so much. Oh my god, it's a feast for the eyes! And I want to remember every single thing he says... haha!

Thanks so much for posting it. I can't decide whether to put my shoes on right now and go and take some photos, or to write a post and dig out some of my old photos.

I think I'll do both.... :)

Hehe - glad you liked it :) There are many more docs more on him, and his protege William Klein. Check this one out too when you've got the time. Absolute gold..ehh..I mean steem

Lake Titicaca.....Nicaragua! Aqua! For my bunghole....

Haha! Awesome... I'm gonna line a few of these up I think. Cheers!

Oh and I've added you to the end of my latest post where I shine a little spotlight on bloggers I'm loving right now. :)

Wow - Thank's so much!

I've got a couple of pics from yesterday and today I'm excited to share, if not the megapixel quality :/ Looking forward to the weekend when I can sit down and put everything together :)

Wonderful, and you're welcome! :)

Ooh thanks for this, watching it now! :)
