Mike Benveniste http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79672288 Picking up or dropping off a pilot. Almost the antithesis of motion. Two boats in synchronized motion briefly locked together for the transfer. There is a story here. I like it. Thank you for your comments. This was a "shoot first, think later" shot; I saw the transfer taking place and grabbed the camera. Only later did I think about the mandate. -- Michael Benveniste -- Spam and UCE professionally evaluated for $250. Use this email address only to submit mail for evaluation. |

This was my second choice (not submitted) which probably would have been better as an odditorium submission: http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=California/Bay-Area/South-Bay/2007-05-26-casa-dos-rios&PG=9&PIC=49 -butterfly taking flight Cool. :-) Not too late to post a second submission? Well, the butterfly-leaving was just an unexpected goof :-) Some of my favourite images are unexpected goofs. :-) Did you zoom-while-snapping on the first submission? I like that one. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617206 Thanks. No zoom. This was a fluke (almost a goof). I shot hundreds of exposures trying to get something that worked, and this was the only one that came out with the funnel effect. My guess is that there was some motion of the camera at right angles to the panning. My guess is that I could try for years and never reproduce the effect. :-) |

I thought all the submissions in this Mandate were great! One can really feel the movement in each pic. I can almost feel the water splashing my face looking at Jim's dog pic. Great shot Jim. Wilba's feet moving is a great idea! One can really feel the feet pounding that pavement. Wonderful Wilba! Thanks very much. I'm very happy with my work on this one. This challenge was a good oportunity for me to experience the principle of, "the harder I work, the luckier I get." BTW: nice shoes. What make are they? Converse All-Stars. I like blue suede shoes. :-) Same shoe in Multiple Exposures - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/78049977. |

Wilba 1 http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617206 I am not so sure about this one Neither am I. :-) The funnel effect is a fluke and entirely unintended. When I look at it now, I think of primary school kids in a playground, and hear the shouts and squeels that go with that. Wilba 2 http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617299 I quite like this image. It is clear that the runner is in motion but the left foot is sharply infocus frozen against a moving background. The first impression is there is something different here. Well done Thanks very much. I like that - "an impression of something different". |

Jim Kramer - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617130
Lots of motion - the dog, it's ears, tail, and paws (look at the left front so extended), the splash and ripples. In this one there's a real sense of motion towards an objective - it knows where it's going and it's going right there right now. :-) Douglas MacDonald - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617184 When I look at this I want the canoeist to not be there, since I'm getting a "stacked subjects" effect that detracts from both of them for me. Good capture of the peak moment in the leap of the boat. Wilba 1 - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617206 I shot both of these by holding the camera at belly height, in portrait format, as I stood on one foot while stepping forward with the other. I tried lots of variations on freezing the static foot or panning with the moving foot, on different surfaces on different days. This one is of my right foot, which was static, and the left foot cropped out. My guess is that there was some unintended sideways motion (think from up to down in this 90 degree ACW rotation), that resulted in the funnel effect. Wilba 2 - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617299 This is one of the few pans on the moving foot that worked. Unsharp Mask made the shoe snap into focus. Something I learnt from this exercise was the need to underexpose about a step to avoid blowing out the whites on blurred subjects. Ken Nadvornick - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79617305 It's the detail that makes this special for me. The composition is very well thought out. All the elements fit well within the frame and work with each other - the boom, the signpost, the cat's eyes on the road ... everything adds something. You can feel the whoosh. I love the skinny post visible just inside the right border, showing that the background was visible sometime during the exposure. Is the signpost vertical? It looks to me like it's tilted a smidge to the right. A winner for me. Paul Furman - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79657023 I understand and sympathise with your comment in other messages about space in front and behind the subject. Lack of a clear eye makes it harder to relate to this as a wildlife shot, but as a motion shot it works for me. Great pinions. I like the mix of blurred and sharp spray. Mike Benveniste - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79672288 At first I thought, "what's in motion?", but then I clued into the interpretation of someone dealing with the relative motion of the boat and dock. Strong diagonal axis of the boat, and a nice tight crop. Graham Fountain - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79751139 This has a feeling for me that there was a lot of motion a moment ago, and now it has pretty much come to a stop. I'm frustrated by the centre of the action being obscured by number 2, but I love the expressions on the faces of the other players. Well framed to include them all. Alan Browne - http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/79753743 I like the subject (float planes are very rare where I come from), and it looks good from that angle. As a pan, I'd like the background to be more blurred, and I'd be interested to see a bit more of the wake, but I guess you didn't have many chances to experiment. :-) It looks a bit grainy to me but overall I like it. Definitely a motion shot. Congratulations to everyone! |
