The May assignment for the Bay Area Photo Club was motion blur, and as it turned out my trip home from Washington, DC was that same night so I missed the meeting. This probably would have been one of my entries if I could have made it back in time. It's something of a departure from the vibrant colors and perfect focusing of modern digital cameras. I'd someday like to do a body of work in this same style. Cindi Barker has started a blog and has a great post about blur and abstracting the human figure with motion - here's the link. This photo was taken at the Dupont Circle Metro Station in Washington, DC - handheld at 1/8 of a second, ISO400, and toned with Nik Silver Efex.

I LOVE it!! Everything I like in a photograph --- blurred person, sharp background, black and white, leading lines. Also, a great perspective to show the ceiling like that. It even looks like he/she has on cowboy boots to me! This image is simple, yet complex with all the pattern and texture, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see MORE images like this.
I like all three railway shot's you've posted a lot, but this one is my favorite so far. It really does a good job of conveying a sense of mood.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cindi and Larry. I enjoyed the combination of the combination of several aspects of photography (the blur, the black/white, the geometric lines, etc). A bit of a departure from the avian, floral, macro shots that we normally see from the photographer. I am looking forward to seeing more shots from your trip.
