does this work ?

[Mark Yates]

took this this evening of my son and daughter playing in the park and converted to black n white
looks ok to me but a second opinion wouldn't go astray

thanks for looking and your thoughts would be appreciated

Canna put my finger on it but yes it is intriguing

It sure does work. Very interesting image.

i like it, i guess your son is on the round about ??

If so maybe a slightly quicker shutter or slower round about would be good so there is still some detail to the ride rather than a complete blur.............. Just a something to think about ......!!

Still a great idea and has lots of potential

thanks folks

i will explain the roundabout
think of a waltzer ( fairground ride ) car and it's quite similar in it has closed in seats but with 2 openings to get in or out so when the child / children are sat in it they are enclosed apart from where you can see them through the gaps/openings

the effect was accidental i intended the blur and hoped my daughter would stand still long enough for the shutter to open and close ( half a second ) the ghost image of my son is a bonus and wasn't really intended but i like the effect

will try different shutter speeds ( shorter / longer ) next time to see if i can improve the effect

 

[Darren Turner]

yes keep at it , would be interesting to see different versions of this with different shutter speeds.

Sounds similar to a zoetrope!

Nice fotie. I like the ghost like image of your son? on the gizmo. I might clone out the bright light in the left background coming through the trees but that's nitpicking. Did you try other shutter speeds? Might be nice to compare. This one is pretty cool though.

 

[Pete Askew]

Works well I think. Maybe cropping a touch off the left might help the flow but I like the way your son is just visible on the roundabout.

I quite like it ...
It's quite spooky though I think!
A faster shutter speed may have worked to produce a different shot, not nessasarily a better one I think ... Less spooky maybe though
