Skooting around

[admajic]

Wanted to get the feeling of motion in this one so, I tell the son to skoot past me and ill get the shot.

The Challenge:

1. He is 6
2. There are people walking past infront of me all the time - its Bondi Beach, its Sunday!!
3. He wanted to have a 100m run up?!
4. I had a Manual Focus Lense!!!
4. He wouldnt ride over the point that I set up the focus for.



Anyway I got the effect! And a smile to boot

With those challenges I'd say this was a top effort!! Perhaps an AF lens the next time an action shot takes your fancy?

Using a AF would be too sensible

A bit like saving money when there are new lenses just sitting in stores, desperate for new owners!

I think the image might have had more impact if it was horizontal rather than vertical. The motion is going vertical and you should be showing where your son is going (or has been).

Other than that, the image is good and the motion is visible, just not as much as with a horizontal aspect.

Your right maybe more background would have more impact.

I just straightened the image a bit as it was slightly out. I took it with my 50mm. I dont think I could have gotten everything in Vertically given the contraints of the promenade size!!

Considering the challenges, you have done very well

Nice work and a very nice keepsake for the day.
