Going into Antwerp to hunt dramatic fisheye photos with the Olympus E-M5 and ZD8mm FE lens, I chanced upon a number of Trial Bike riders practising for the World Cup finals.
Obviously, I used that opportunity to maximize the drama. Graphic silhouetting fits the subject well, IMHO.
I shot the E-M5 in a combination of RAW and JPG, because I wanted to try out the camera's Dramatic B&W effect.
Most shots shown here are enhancements of the JPGs, because - frankly - I had a hard time recreating the sky tones from RAW.
Near the end, the gallery also includes some of the cityscapes that I originally planned to go making this afternoon...
