Off for a ride! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Nearly everyone in Vietnam seems to ride a moped. And there seems to be no limit on how many people you can get on one moped either. 3 people on one moped is quite a normal sight. I saw 6 people on a single moped once - 3 adults each with a child on their laps! I also saw a man with a 2-seater sofa tied behind him on the moped he was riding. Crazy!!!

Frame added in Photoshop otherwise as taken. The image is a little grainy as it was shot on ISO/1600 but I don't think it detracts too much.

Regards,

Rich

Hi Richard,
Nice panning shot of a very representative scene in Vietnam. I like the colors and the energy. I do regret the unnecessarily dark tnes that make the faces hard to see, thugh, so I've put together a workshop that tries to bring ut more zest in the picture. See what yu think...
Best,
Francis

Hi Richard..
Great work, what a perfect panning. Your camera movement is perfectly synchronized with the moped.
You could have brighten a bit the image and run it through a noise removing program like NeatImage.
Regards
PS. Check the workshop I did on the picture.

Hello Richard,
Great panning here! I like the overall composition with the green color in the back and the moped going in speed.
The faces are very nice with some happy expressions.
Well done, Regards,
Daniel
