panning the streets Photo

Photographer’s Note

watching the traffic pass by on the streets of Saigon. you definately see some interesting ways to pack things onto a push bike or cyclo.

i decided to slow down the shutter speed and try to freeze some details in amongst the clutter. a nice way to capture some finer details which go unnoticed amongst the action of real-time traffic in the streets of Ho Chi Minh city.

Great shot. I'm afraid they might bump into something or someone if they don't look front. Their calm faces however suggest that it's the universe that is moving around them but not them rushing through the crowd.

Hi Warren,

this is great example of panning technique. I tried it couple times while I was trying to capture running monkeys in Yala Park in Sri Lanka, though only came out with one reasonable shot. But looking at your shot, I have to try even harder next time. Well done, great shot!

Kind regards,

Viktor

Hello Warren,
great effect! Very interesting shot. I like it very much. The composition looks perfect. I join "ilghiz's" opinion: it seems that the Time froze for these two boys whereas the whole world around them continues spinning!
greetings from Moscow,
Elena

wonderful instantaneous in the traffic, i wonder how you could as well realize this shot, the fact that the two characters look behind and in the same direction bring an interesting dimension
