She rode with the naked bikers, though she chose to stay dressed.

This green-haired bride ended up as my second favorite shot.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite shot, as often happens, was pure luck. I was trying to get a picture of one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/thesisters.org\/\" title=\"The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc.\">Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence<\/a> as they walked by. My camera was being a little slow, probably having a tough time auto-focusing on moving people and trying to adjust exposure all at the same time. I wasn&#8217;t sure quite when it was actually going to take the shot, so I just stayed crouched down to the ground, aiming the camera as the Sister as she walked past me, hoping that something useable would come out.<\/p>\n<p>What I ended up getting floored me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/20170061\/in\/set-471777\/\" title=\"Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Fremont Solstice Parade, Seattle, WA\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/16\/20170061_783b72d1b0.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Fremont Solstice Parade, Seattle, WA\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>So<\/em> much better than what I was expecting to end up with, or even hoping for.
