A very good panned picture. That the motorcicle is a little blurred ads a touch of speed to the picture, because the background is completely blurred --it even seems a Photoshop effect. Wonderful work.
And yes, as much as I know, helmets intended for construction sites or for labs are not safe enough for bikers. He will certainly have some injuries in an accident.

Hi Greg,
That hard hat must be a feel-good thing. You are right that it won't help in a crash. Interesting image, nothing is sharp because of the slow shutter speed, yet it works because of the visual impact. Regards,
Hakan

Hello Greg,
This is a fine action capture!
The typical scenery is well captured and the panning is well done, good colours and a fine composition!
I'm looking forward to see the new line of images...
Greetings,

It is a good panning but I think the f/10 is a bit to slow for this photo. I would like to see more definition on the man. The hard hat in the basket is amazing. Anyway, still a well done picture with good colours too.
Antonio.

You can actually 'see' the speed here. Amazing to me that people in Asia ride around without a helmet. Funny that his hard hat sits in his basket. A really good capture of daily life in Korea. Good colors. TFS

There is no doubt the hard hats will be completely ineffective in the basket of the bike ;D. Interesting subject as in the west we would not see cargo on a bike. Although not entirely successful, your panning has shown a lot of motion blur in the background. Panning is an incredibly difficult technique.

Bonsoir Greg,
This image satisfies me, the movement and the picturesque character of the scene is interesting, especially if the trade of the motorcylcist is known.
Good night and good weekend
Cordially

Hi Greg. I’m not surprised the bike and rider are a little blurred, 1/13 sec is very slow for such a shot. But you have captured the effect very well. Well composed also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
PS. I’m looking forward to your hometown photos.

Greg,
LOL!!! What a perfect post to celebrate your change of places and action. I alreday saw also your welcoming post to the US. Very appropriate posts, indeed. Although, I prefer this image much more than your starting one. No wonder! You lived for a long time in Korea and it is probably much easier to get a meaningful image form were you're parting versus were you're arriving. Have a good start! Welcome home!
Regards, Peter

Hi Greg, I love the blur of motion in this one, and the general feel of it. The shot is quintessentially Asian in content and atmosphere, perhaps the light plays a part. It makes me wish I was there now. Nice one!

Hi Greg,
Very appropriate photo to post upon your departure from the Far East. Clear colors help highlight the blurred action effect of this wonderful action image.
