EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United KingdomOh no! Don't tell me this was the last shot before the impact, and the Canon's impromptu visit to the lens doctor Ha ha Love the feeling of motion, the claustraphobic confines and the way I am almost squeezing myself to the right to let the people pass as I view the scene. Superbly observed, Sharon 11 Feb 2009 5:09am Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealandgreat shot bc! You have to be brave to walk thro that alley, I think it would freak me out a little....too narrow!! 11 Feb 2009 5:11am sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United StatesSo well done, I can feel the closeness. 11 Feb 2009 5:11am Marcah from United StatesWonderful and moody. Close fit. Were you backing up as you shot ":o) 11 Feb 2009 5:15am @Marcah: Thanks Marcah! Heh, heh...no way, I was forging ahead!

Nice work. 11 Feb 2009 5:16am Matt Sutton from Sydney, AustraliaJust wonderful Sharon. I love the movement of the family. The man's feet. The little girls leg. They appear to blend into the wall almost. 11 Feb 2009 5:37am Sien from Valkenswaard, NetherlandsThanks Sharon for your many comments Soon in Amsterdam Grz Sien 11 Feb 2009 5:42am @Sien: Thank you too...and for the tip as well.

Well done. 11 Feb 2009 7:10am zahai from Berlin, Germanybeautifully composed and captured. Love the light, contrast, and the capture of motion...people hurrying through that alley, that's no place where you stay, it's only purpose is to get you from A to B. 11 Feb 2009 7:43am roentarre from Melbourne, AustraliaThis is an excellent image in deed. Great motion blurr to create the street candid look 11 Feb 2009 8:07am k@ from Paris, FranceWonderful motion blur at your place too, Sharon, and I love that narrow passage, indeed, where I can see two lil'legs of a girl hidden behind Mom & Dad... Marvelous* 11 Feb 2009 8:22am Kylie Greenan from Richmond, AustraliaLove the movement in this image, I too wondered how you took this BC, great work! 11 Feb 2009 8:49am Philip from Joburg, South AfricaLove the perspective of the narrow allyway works excellent in B/W 11 Feb 2009 9:04am dan from Paris, FranceImage furtive as the glance which we put on people whom we meet in the street. 11 Feb 2009 9:48am gelfoto from Madrid, SpainAxfisiante that passage. Black and white the exquisite one, and the defocusing equips with character and dynamism. Greetings 11 Feb 2009 11:08am Kristian from Slagelse, DenmarkA passby shooting.

The b&w work is excellent as always! 11 Feb 2009 11:11am Cheryl from Texas, United Stateslol, he looks ready to walk into the wall to avoid your camera! very nice movement! 11 Feb 2009 11:22am Alivia from Saint-Etienne, Francemagnifique rendu des ombres-silhouettes dns l'étroitesse de la ruelle, les B&W sont superbement bien traités.. 11 Feb 2009 12:04pm Mathilde from Paris, FranceSuperbe N/B! certainement difficile à réaliser, la première personne semble vouloir s'effacer! 11 Feb 2009 12:26pm BoB from Milano, ItalyIt seems that they want to cross it as quickly as possible 11 Feb 2009 1:09pm Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesThis image works so well with the Anais Nin quote ... we all find ourselves in such narrow passageways from time to time in our lives ... and the motion blur suggests a sort-of "every man" and "every woman" aesthetic to the wisdom you've captured here ... ron 11 Feb 2009 2:15pm Gabrielle Kai Photography from United StatesWow - your photography is stunning. I love the black and white tones. Looking at your shots, I feel like I am being pulled right into the moment. Excellent work - thanks for sharing. 11 Feb 2009 2:43pm Toni from Eastern Washington, United StatesExcellent capture of the "Hurry up" world we live in. We are always in a hurry to get where we are going and the motion blur drives that point home for me. Well done. 11 Feb 2009 2:48pm Cricket from Huntsville, United StatesVery nice with such vivid words. So much truth in both. Lovely. 11 Feb 2009 3:02pm Charles from New York, United StatesAnother awesome street scene! Love the contrast in the shot. (I borrowed one of your techniques for Saturday's shot...Cafe Reflections..albeit not nearly as well done!). 11 Feb 2009 3:58pm LauraS from Chico, United StatesI am curious about your choice of focus or not, on this one. I see you have very specialized focus on many of your shots, purposefully, I'm sure. I like your particular use of lighting. 11 Feb 2009 4:34pm daina from New York, United StatesI like the blur of the figures which makes them more anonymous and gives the image even greater sense of claustrophobia. The high contrast also adds to the impact of the image. 11 Feb 2009 5:02pm Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, CanadaVery cool. I love shooting in narrow confining alleys. 11 Feb 2009 5:05pm Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesA beautiful work of art. The motion in the image is just great as is the play of light and dark tones. 11 Feb 2009 6:03pm Terry H. from Azle Texas, United StatesIt certainly feels like the walls are closing in on you. Excellent! 11 Feb 2009 6:25pm beanow from PolandNicely capture! I like the effect of the movement and processing... 11 Feb 2009 6:44pm Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canadagreat image and love that you caught them in motion. I have one single image of this skinny alley from my last visit to Victoria. I wasn't fortunate to catch people in it I don't think ... I'm going to dig it out and check! Love the high contrast as well. 11 Feb 2009 6:59pm Ian from A nice, tranquil leafy place, United KingdomVery cool capture! The black and white's awesome. 11 Feb 2009 7:22pm mo.langel from Courtelary, SwitzerlandTrès belle atmosphère, j'aime bien cette image qui rend bien le mouvement des personnes marchant dans cette ruelle! 11 Feb 2009 8:40pm Thierry Masson from orly, FranceI like the speed, the slowness, it is one thing for the price of two, when the life flow between your fingers. The camera is the only thing that can stop this move, not the motion picture, but the photo, only the photo. 11 Feb 2009 8:57pm JJ from Jersey City, United Statesthis is superb, the feeling of such a narrow path, the rush of the people approaching you, 12 Feb 2009 2:05am Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomGreat looking shot, the slight blur gives a bit of drama, as though they are running. 12 Feb 2009 2:37am 613photo from Dallas, United StatesVery good as always. There's so much tension with the narrow ally lined with dark bricks, and the suggested hurried pace of the walking people. Great job. 12 Feb 2009 3:09am Laurie from New Jersey, United StatesI like the sense of motion. There is a sense of urgency. 12 Feb 2009 3:24am Ivar from Indianapolis, United StatesGreat action shot, the stark contrast really help bring the mood forward in this., Nice 12 Feb 2009 3:30am Tracy from Victoria, CanadaVery cool shot!! I love the motion of the people and the contrast...very cool. 12 Feb 2009 4:08am grant from kansas city, United Statesvery well done - just the right amount of movement i think 13 Feb 2009 12:11am Phototherapy from SwitzerlandExcellent title in line with what I see. Great shot, You were going against them, I like a lot these frontal views, so difficult to realize. 13 Feb 2009 5:14pm |
