Paying attention on the road

^ now that is a cracking shot! ...

^ now that is a cracking shot! ...

I am still dissapointed with the lack of detail I got from the human skin.

Stupid question: I chose 1/30th of a second to match the average speed of the motorbike in order to capture the feeling of movement while trying to focus on the subject. While shooting in these conditions, would I have gotten a better result after PP while shooting in RAW?

Probably not. At 1/30th second everything is going to be a little bit blurred due to the movement of the bike and you will lose detail; the flesh on the arms is probably vibrating! Increase the shutter speed and you will lose the speed effect which gives the shot the interest. Very hard to do, but if you could have angled the camera so someone's eyes (the child?) were shown in the side mirror, that would have added some interest and balance to the shot.

Honest answer: did you really choose? or whilst flying along on the back of that bike, was the camera set to auto? ......doesn't make any difference really, some of the greatest shots ever taken can be put down to pure accident &/or luck.

would the camera set to RAW on this shot matter in PP? No.

Fracturedrabbit explaines how to generate the illusion of speed in his guide in the shutter panning paragraph which I have read .

Although I am accustomed to shoot anywhere between 1/1000 and 1/1600 and a high focal lenght while flying on the back of a motorbike it's really not that difficult to manually adjust both these settings.

So I set the switch on TV to be able to adjust the shutter speed while focal lenght was operating automatically. Hence the clear focus on the girl.

ok.....good to know you're paying attention & not just willy nilly snapping away at any old thing. ..(keep it up)

I wonder who thinks of these horrible theme designs on motorbikes. Some people just have no shame..

I wonder where his handbag is.

This photo has already been posted in another forum

BUT,it is one of my favorite photos and more fitting for this thread I think.

Someone's paying attention...

[edit] 1/2000 on highlighting the skin. Combined with a misdirected, automatic F8.0...

Appreciated.

DAL ... I'm late into this thread.

Just liked the kid's seat on the bike ... I've never seen one before.

But I have run out of likes ... your action shot taken as pillion on the bike (1/30 sec) above is great ...

A 'high note' ... you know what that means!

MissFarmGirl awaiting me to hop on the back in the early days before she let me ride.

Note how far forward she's sitting ... honey ... I'm not that big ...

The daily hay run, to feed the buffalo ! The rider is cutting away!

Image a little hazy ... from sea spray on the lens !

These guys were looking at the waves!

Mate nice, well used machine.

But what caught my eye was the old dear on her tricycle in the background.

After a kilometre of Farm dirt we get to the . . The beast ...

very narrow walkway built upon the local

canal. It drops both side about 2 metres

both sides to the klong.

Definitely a challenge after a few beers!

Motorbike and pick-up.

That's the one, Shaggy. +2.. The same unsettling look on their faces, especially!

Dal,I know you like pretty motorbikes so here is another one for you.

^ Nah!.... more DAL's style some where in this lot!

I like a few of the bikes with some fancy paint work ...

There are a few more of that bike but they are all in high-res

Ah ... MissFarmGirl ... in the days when she looked like that ...
