nice panning Terje. Cought the motion just right and the colors are dynamic.

First of all nice panning Terje, and a grate courage to go out in the rain to take this photo.
Secondly it’s a grate presentation of daily life in renewing Cambodia, the scooter taxi that takes all people (including “men of a clothe”) everywhere.
The situation is also feats Cambodia everyday life, and above all the colorful picture despite the rainy day.
In the workshop I tried to emphasize the color while cropping the picture in a non symmetrical way – I hope you will like it that way

Wow, colorful, rainy day for them. Very funny capture. How the hell can he hold his umbrella siting on a motorbike.
I tried panning last week, but it ended up in a mess. I like this one. Well seen.

Great shot, Terje. I'm amazed at the clarity of the bike and the guys on it. Very nice contrast between the orange and yellow and the rest of the grey of the rain.

This just proves that there's no reason to stay away from Asia in the monsoon - some great chances for unusual shots. Steve McCurry has a book called "Monsoon", all about following the monsoon through Asia - have you seen it?

I left Cambodia in November, back in Australia now - but may be returning in a few months. How about you?

Cool shot. Nice that the motorbike and its occupants are nice and sharp and the background blurry enough to make the subject stand out more. Also, interesting to see two bright colors (orange and yellow) in a sea of darker ones. Really a cool shot. Well done!
