Soldier Shoots White Mouse

[Brian Moore]

Snap of a scene from a dress rehearsal for the Ballet Etudes "Nutcracker."

Olympus XA and Arista Premium 100 film developed in Rodinal 1:100 for 60 minutes.


Mouse uninjured.

 

[Paul Lange]

Its mundane, It's bizarre, it's got a story, whats going on, I don't know! Fantastic! Really made me smile.

 

[Pete Askew]

That is superb again Brian. What a wonderfully enigmatic shot. All the action on one side (with no clear indication about what is actually going on) emphasised by the almost empty second half. A great example of unconventional composition.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks a lot, Paul and Pete. As to the unconventional composition--pure luck, really, as I am not framing the image through the viewfinder,...I'm holding the camera at waist or chest level and hoping for the best. (Trying to remain a little inconspicuous.)

Thank you again.

 

[Pete Askew]

Good old Sarah Dipperty again then!!

 

[Brian Moore]

It's like football, Pete. You may miss most of yer shots, but if you don't shoot you don't score, and every once in a while one goes in goes into the onion bag.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

It's like a wave going through the ranks - lovely movement

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Chris!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

This is a very nice shot there Brian,
I've only very lately taken I liking to motion blur, I always took the blur free path (except Friday night).
My fav's at the moment are b&w motion blurred grainy shots, and you've nailed that Bri.
Very well done

 

[Brian Moore]

Much appreciated, Dan. Thank you.
