Can someone be riding the tricycle on the driveway? If so, this shot by Bill Owens fits the theme...

Stand up and take a bow. Real photographers catch the decisive moment and know that they got it right in one. Just like I do. The rest are just posers.

Once again: expressive moment! You'll turn me into a curmudgeon if you keep this up.

This thread just took a major turn for the better...

Dammit, now I'm always going to be looking out for trikes or big wheels, and forever disappointed I don't see any. Entirely because now I want to catch a quality image to add here.

HCB's books in English talk about the Decisive Moment which has worked with English speakers and others for decades. Besides those of us who consistently get the Decisive Moment in one photograph know what we are doing, unlike those the spray photographs like they were using an attached appendage.

That's the argument of tradition. I prefer to fight tradition; that's why I run Linux and not Windoz Windows.
Anyway, in my street-shooting, I'm good at capturing the indecisive moment. At 4 fps, I'd catch many indecisive moments.

No prancing around. No wasting of film. One shot. Done.

Leica M3, Summicron 50 DS.



Wonderful! And you demonstrated that good photographers do not need to machine gun.

Some people like a cheap all you can eat buffet. Others appreciate a quality meal.

As i said: One Quality meal is not enough for me. I take at least 3.

Perhaps it would be cy possible to have a Tricycle-themed exhibition, but we'd need a good name: How about, The New Triographics?
