Photographer’s Note

A typical, busy pedestrian alley in Central, Hong Kong.

Most people were rushing around very fast.

Gave me an opportunity to try out my camera. Outcome is satisfactory, but I wished sharper results.

All comments welcome :)

Tech: Sharpened, contrasted, resized.

P.s. included a partial desaturation post in workshop.

Hi Cheuk,

nice shot. I love all that blur, but I wish she was a bit sharper. I think the blur does a nice job of isolating this woman. Keep trying, you will get it.

Exactly, all people going in their own ways... opposite to my photos, my "ways" drive you to nowhere, your ones show the real life.
Regards,
Olaf

Bonsoir Cheuk
cette photo est très bien composée et la mise au point uniquement sur cette dame en rose accentue ce côté occupé et pressé des personnes. Belle ambiance

Good shot, the blur suits this kind of street image very well, with the main subject sharper than her surroundings. the workshop is very effective as well.

Hi Cheukhin, A nice panning shot of the bag lady, down the busy street. I am saying so because she carried many bags, at least three, right? Good snap shot of the busy street scene with everyone hurry to different destinations.

Hi Cheuk,
Good trial. The woman could have been sharper, but I can see the movement in the street and I enjoy it. Keep shooting in the streets!

Hi Cheuk,

Not generally a fan of partial desaturation, so I dont really appreciate the workshop. However, I think this street shot is more dynamic than the results I get when trying to do something similar, regardless of the blur. I think you chose a good subject in the foreground.
