Welcome to The Sixth Edition of the series - Scenes from a bike
The concept is simple, I've bought an electric bike, on this bike I explore my hometown, Melbourne Australia and take photos, Priority 1 - Finding new places in Melbourne, Priority 2 - taking better photos, Bonus - Earn back the cost of the bike by creating content and getting paid for it on HIVE.
This Edition facts:
Location: Back in Docklands, I hadn't intended this when I left, but due to traffic I got pushed that way, then I got distracted and then I found what I found and that was that.
Date & Weather: Saturday the 30th of July, Winter, I know it looks sunny but that's the trick of Melbourne in Winter, clear skies, and cold.
Equipment: My Fujifilm X-T3, and the ever reliable 16-80 zoom lens. I rode my Vyron Cumulus 3.0 electric bike.
Finances: The bike cost $1,100 USD. So far I've earned $37.32 from the previous 5 posts meaning I've paid for 3.4% of the bike and I have $1,063 to go.
Other stuff: What I found was a series of public art pieces, Statues of Animals, Sculpted by Gillie and Marc and supporting the WWF they tells stories of animals in jeopardy
