Das Rad ist rad!

“Rad” is German for bike, so simply put, the bike is rad…
Derailleurs, not so much, they just look fugly to be honest. Sturmey 3 speeds FTW.

This is just a little something I eventually developed after repeatedly saying to myself “Yeah, that bike is rad!” Or  “That’s rad, that Rad – as our friends in Berlin might say (or probably not) when I’d see a sleek hub-geared porteur, cafe racer or town bike.  None of that MB racer hybrid lurid overcooked ugliness – pass the vomit bucket please. Stick a stylish rack on the front, strap your bag to it and off you go.  Fast, yet mellow.

Redshift though, holy shitting hell. Still got a fuckton more to learn, it’s a sprawling beast of a render engine. Saying that, narrow depth of field shots are suddenly so quick and easy to render, I love it. It reminds me of when I got a DSLR & a 50mm prime lens in 2010 and everything I shot for the next year was with a narrow DoF….

Aaaaaand, if you throw a bokeh image into the camera, it helps with creating a soft chromatic abberration in the lens blur of the final image.
