The train is flying past me, as I walk along side, shooting with a long, slow shutter speed. The side of the train car was completly covered in bold colored graffiti. I find it strangely appealing.
Todd, I think you are right. When I get a chance I'll rework this shot. I had a similar reaction myself, but I generally resist applying too much PS. But in some cases PS work is really the best thing for the image. Thanks again. Veloc...ity
Todd, Well, one would think there is an easy answer to your question, but ... It turns out what you are "saying in your head" is the way I generally pronounce my name. Simply, because it is easier on the receiver. The correct way, is to pronounce the W as a V. In this case it is Va-loz. (Just like the first portion of the word Velocity.) Mark
well Mark...i've seen this thumbnail before and haven't opened it til now. i was pleasantly surprised-for some reason the thumbnail didn't 'grab me.' the actual image has some nice layers and tones...although i'd think about bringing up the contrast or otherwise getting a little more saturation in the colors. might give it just a bit more 'grab.' just a thought. and one unrelated question that i've been wondering for awhile-how do you say 'Wlaz?' i know damn well it's not walloz...but that's what i say in my head everytime i see it.
Very creative, Mark. Good idea and interesting results.
One sugestion I have is to try and get some part of the image still and sharp. That tends to enhance the blurred part, as the contrast between blurred and sharp is noticed.
Of course, sometimes it's best to have blur everywhere, so that was just a sugestion :)
