Here's my "Boots", well actually trainers !
EXIF
Canon 350D, with Sigma 50mm 1.4
- f2.5 Av
Started at 1.4 then closed to 2.5 to give some DOF as 1.4 is stupid shallow.
- 1/13sec
Shot in shadow in garden at about 2:30 so still lots of light. ND4 stops used to allow me to drag the shutter for the motion.
Apperture priority to control the DOF and then vaired the ND filters to set shutter speed.
ISO 100, but lack of light wasn't the problem.
Post Process.
Nothing massive except for the Gray conversion in photoshop (now CS4) and the B&W easily allows a mask, hence the N in red.
NO fake motion blur or DOF, for once, all is in camera.
No sharpening either, the texture in the bricks is real.
For those who can remeber this is a bit of a homage to one of the very early shots from Mr. Bell, hope you like it :-)
As always C&C welcome.
Cheers,
Richard B.

My first thought was "this is a shot I've seen before". Nicely done. Has the shooting right, but Davids had one detail more correct - his was shot on a start line ;0)
ReplyDeleteWell done on focusing on the 'hinge' around which the foot rotates as you step forward although I suspect this was more fluke than design. So how many tries did it take to get it right?
The rotation point and focal point was all deliberate. Took about 30 shots to nail it, main problem was getting the timing and speed of foot rotation but didn't feel it took to many shots.
ReplyDeleteI know no line, however, I don't have the advantage of comandeering a spare tenis court ;-)

You mean you don't have a tennis court? But you live in Dubai, the land of luxury!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, looking at the shot again nice us of black and white with colourised 'N'. Its subtle enough to not be the entire shot itself but effective enough to make a difference.
I do have tennis court and swimming pool and basket ball court. However the Maid hand't cleaned it properly, but don't worry she is being punished !
