Driving across Oakland not long ago, I saw pack of teenagers — 35 or 40 kids — on bicycles getting on a freeway onramp in a tight cluster, popping wheelies, swerving through cars. Of course traffic behind them was a mess.
I opted to stay on the streets, avoiding the freeway all the way to the next exit. When I got there, the pack was getting off the freeway behind me as I pulled up to the offramp stoplight. I had my camera (the x100f) on me, but rather than crane my neck around and stick the camera and my head out the window — not stealthy, not smart — I leaned in and focused on my car’s sideview mirror as they went by.
I pressed the shutter button 20 times, and came away with these three. A few of these kids noticed me taking pictures — one of them threw the peace up as he went by my window, which I think framed the kid behind him in the mirror pretty nicely. Lucky break...
