A Boy and His Bike
Canon PowerShot SD1000
Self Portrait
The temps here in Omaha, Nebraska have been in the 50s and 60s lately, which finally melted the snow off our driveway! The melted snow left puddles all over the streets, and when evening came, the vibrant sunset was reflected in these puddles. I rode my bike up to the middle school parking lot and set my camera at the edge of a puddle (set to 10 second self-timer) to snap this self portrait.
Thanks for viewing!

Impressive :) Love the colours. would have been even better if you could have gotten a panorama shot of this, but we can’t always get what we want right? :) Great work
Evan Ludes replied
Thank you!
I didn’t get any panoramas of the sunset, but I did get a few shots with a wider angle than this (I’ll post a couple later) :)

I think the only thing that would have made this better is a bit more negative space above the head…but that’s a minor thing. Spectacular shot!
Evan Ludes replied
I agree, that’s definitely the one thing this shot’s missing. If the sunset hadn’t faded so quickly, I may have been able to re-shoot. Unfortunately, I had no tripod with me, so I had to set it flat on the ground.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it.

A great shot Evan, makes me think I should take my bike out from the depths of the shed!
Evan Ludes replied
Thank you, Rachael!
You certainly should. Get out on that bike and shoot the world ;)

Great result. Your self portrait idea takes it out of the ordinary beauty category. Ten seconds is a long pause for your “model” – but it looks like you held it.
Evan Ludes replied
Thank you very much!
I’m glad I got the pose on the first shot, as the sunset was fading quite fast.
