From an elevated perspective, a lone cyclist wearing a red helmet pedals through a green-marked bike lane beneath a concrete overpass. Pink bougainvillea blooms soften the industrial setting, while grass patches frame the urban corridor. The overhead viewpoint creates a contemplative composition that celebrates everyday movement through city spaces.
Captured on an Olympus OM-1 manual SLR with the classic Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 lens and Kodal Gold 200 film. The film's natural color rendition brings warmth to the concrete and asphalt, while its moderate contrast preserves detail in both the shadowed bike lane and brighter surroundings. The 50mm focal length provides an intimate yet unobtrusive perspective, characteristic of street photography on film. Gold 200's fine grain structure maintains sharpness even when shooting from a distance, making it ideal for documenting candid urban moments.
