Hi Vincent,
Very nice panning. I like the mood here, as well as the colour and composition. Will it be nicer if there is more space infront of them? Just a thought... i am still learning..

superbe photo, mise au point sur la fille bleue esst une bonne idée, déjà par la couleur des vêtements cette femme trouait la photo mais le flou de tout ce qui n'est pas les vélos et ce bleu est génial bravo

Très typique là encore, avec pas mal d'énergie et de vie.
L'arrière plan est très dynamique et le flou ne gêne pas ici, bien au contraire.

This is an excellent panning. I am still trying to get a proper one. The colours are simply beautiful as are their expression too. Well done.

Hi Vincent,
What a joyful and also very colourful image. The way the girl smiles does even give me a smile. Good work on the exposure with the moved blurred background...very nice.

Bonjour Vincent

Superb motion blur, with marvellous symmetry between the 2 traditionally attired cyclists. Good sharpness & colour. C'est tres bon, et merci!

Hi Vincent,
Excellent panning and extremely well chosen POV. Just a thought though, that kid in the red black stripe is a bit distracting. I would have preferred cropping her off and perhaps a bit from the bottom to maitain the proportion.

Hi Vincent,
I love the movement and the bright blurred colours here. The expressions of the girl and the man are great, it does look like they are having a race. Nice composition with the diagonal line of the river.

Bonjour Vincent,

You have produced a very successful action shot, with the cyclists in excellent focus set agains a blurred, amorphous background. The note also is highly informative of this exotic land. Warm regards,

Bonjour Vincent,

Un bel arrière plan que donne beaucoup de dynamisme aux sujet principaux de la photo, les cyclistes. D'après ce que je lis ils ne sont plus gênés par les problèmes de polution générés par les voitures et autres mécaniques polluantes. Une belle et intéressante image, merci Vincent.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne journée,

Hi Vincent!

Amazing daily life scene and great multiple portrait. The "central" composition works very well in this case. Very impressive "panning" too. Congratulations, my dear friend!

Hello Vincent,

What a image with your F/5 and 1/30 almost a miracle, but this is great class, I've a lot respectly for this one, with the focus on the bikers and the blur background, nice done.

Best regards,

Hi Vincent!
This is the vision I had in my mind ,when I travelled to Vietnam,and I was dissapointed when I saw the very busy motorized traffic there.Now you`ll understand my question ,how you liked Vietnam.
I´s a great shot,full of joy and you managed the panning technique very well.

Bonjour Vincent,
Belle composition avec un effet de filé magnifique. Cette jeune fille est particulièrement photogénique et a porte une toilette aux couleurs douces qui la fait encore mieux ressortir du cadre de l'image.
Belle performance et joli coup d'oeil, bravo.
Bonne journée à toi.
Amicalement, Christian

Salut Vincent,
Très beau filé de ces vélos.
L'arrière-plan coloré est beau, et le rendu du flou de mouvement le met en valeur.
La cerise sur le gateau est l'impression de course entre les vélos, bien vu !
Bonne journée,
JB.

What a lovely capture, Vincent, and a well executed panning shot. The cyclists are just a tiny bit blurred, so perhaps 1/60th would have been a better shutter speed for this. Also, I think if you had cropped away the person in red on the right, and some of the road below the bicycles, you would have had your cyclists better positioned within the frame (i.e. riding into the frame and not centred) and this would have really improved the overall composition. Your exposure is good though, and I like the interesting effect created by the panning on the reflections in the canal. Cheers . . . David

Bonjour, Vincent.
Quelle photo extraordinaire !!!
La vie, la vitesse, les couleurs, les gens, la ville...
J'apprécie beaucoup la DOF et le timing ici...la vitesse est là, pourtant, les gens sont plus nets que les bâtiments, et en fait, la vitesse, c'est comme ça : elle est montrée ici de LEUR point de vue : les objets qu'ils dépassent sont plus flous qu'eux-même.
Toutes mes félicitations pour cette prise.
Juste un tout petit b-mol : la balance des couleurs tire vers le bleu (il devait y avoir du soleil et les gens sont à l'ombre), c'est assez facile à corriger en PS. Je te le dis, mais j'ai fait souvent cela, et on me l'a fait remarqué ;), donc, maintenant, je "joue l'experte" : D.

Amicalement, Grazyna.

Salut Vincent,
The motion blurr enhances very nicely the great joyful atmosphere of the image given by that big open of the girl. She seems to be floating on the air, propelled by her joy. The colours and diffuse shapes of the bg , that red figure and the "grandpa" are also very pleasant.
Technically it's perfect.
Amicalement, José.

Ah Hoi An, quelle jolie bourgade ;o) qu'il etait agreable de se ballader le long de l'eau ;o)
Non serieusement ce panning fonctionne tres bien, c'est dynamique et souriant...que demander de plus !

Olá Vincent, excellent panning shot with a beautiful colorful blurred background. Great POV capturing them from the front and marvellous cheerful expression on the woman. Somehow, I think I prefer this version with the colorful background at right. Great shot!
Have a nice weekend,

Hello Vincent, Terrific. You have captured the spirit of Vietnam. I have always wanted to do this type of panning but I need to practice. Well exposed, the background looks very appealing. Best regards. Danil

I like how well this turned out for a panning shot too. Good smile on the girl and the man is interesting too. I think maybe in the new version that I'd have cropped off the left rather than the right. I liked the woman in stripes, plus I think panning works best to demonstrate motion when the blur is behind the main subject. But still the subjects themselves are very good.

Bonjour Vincent
Une image très dynamique avec les cyclistes pédalant à un bon rythme et tu a su saisir au vol, un joli sourire. La version proposés dans le WS me plait bien, mais toutefois je préfère celle ci ou les contrastes sont plus soulignés.

Hi Vincent,

Excellent panning, reflecting a daily life scene on this country. The WS is just perfect once really corrected the 2 aspects that could be improved on the picture.

Hi Vincent. Marvellous shot full of energy and grace. I remember vividly how elegant the girls and women look on their bikes as they glide along the streets and especially across bridges where they appear like beautiful white spirits detached from the material world. I like the humour in your title and the expressions. Lovely impression from a lovely country. regards. Klaudio.

• ben4321 (9335)
• [2007-05-20 12:14]

A nicely panned shot Vincent, and I like the contrast between the happy expression on the face of the girl and the serious plodding look on the face of the old chap behind.
Ideally I'd have liked to have seen more blur in the background, but for that the bikes would have had to have been travelling faster.
On the whole, it's very well taken, good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Salut Vincent, c'est bon ça, symap ce filé, de bonne facture, de biais en plus, peut etre encore plus difficile a réaliser que de profil, a 1/30 sec bravo pour la netteté sur la (les) cycliste!
Colorée et contrastée a souhait, j'aime beaucoup

I like very much the difference faces of man and girl (woman). He is steady/concerned in what he is doing. She seems more like enjoying/playing.
