This is a post to go with #Shadowhunters challenge by @melinda010100 - Round 330!
Yesterday I attended a motorcycle festival that - very conveniently! - took place at a foot distance from my place. In addition to the motorcycles themselves, exposition had several beautiful vintage cars (how can one pass by such a car without making a stop?) and customized bicycles. Unlike many cars and motorbike, that were provided with alerting signs “do not touch”, “do not sit down”, “don’t linger” and so on :) the bicycles were suggested for the curious public for test rides - that was the main purpose of them being presented there. In real life you'll likely never own a bike like this, so why not take the chance? and many have tried, especially kids. Some children (as far as I noticed) did not leave this spot for hours (!), sorting through bicycles like a girl trying out different dresses or jewelry. 👱♀
Of the 350 photos that I brought from the festival, 120 (that is, almost a third!) are just photos of people testing these amazing bikes. In the end, when I realized I simply couldn’t tear myself away and move on, I took a dozen photographs focusing on the shadows... Here they are!
...and a little bit of reflection as a bonus!
More posts with wonderful encounters at the festival will follow soon (to other matching communities).
Below is the version for my Russian followers.
Вчера я посетил мото-фестиваль, который очень удобно имел место недалеко от меня. Помимо собственно мотоциклов были представлены несколько красивых винтажных автомобилей, (разве можно пройти мимо такой машинки?), и кастомизированных велосипедов. В отличие от многих машин и мопедов, на которых висели грозные таблички "не трогать", "не садиться", "проходить не задерживаться" и так далее :) велосипеды стояли как раз для того, чтобы любопытная публика могла их потестить - в реальной жизни такого велосипеда у вас скорее всего никогда не будет, так почему бы не воспользоваться шансом? и пробовали многие. Особенно дети. Некоторые дети (насколько я могу судить) часами не отходили с этой точки, перебирая велосипеды как девушка пробует разные платья или бижутерию.
Из 350 фото, которые я принес с фестиваля, 120 (то есть почти треть) как раз фото людей, тестирующих эти удивительные байки. В конце, когда я понял что просто не в силах оторваться и уйти дальше, я сделал дюжину фотографий фокусируясь на тенях...
...и бонусом немножечко отражений!

They sure like those bikes don't they? You caught some nice shadows off of them that's for sure. Did you try one out for yourself? You got some nice pictures there, great work!

Ofc I did tried a few, but not all of what was available. Sadly, nobody was around to ask to shot me, in this moments; so I have no proof pics this time. Will share more cool photos soon!
