Rest and Motion Photo

Photographer’s Note

Some stop to look, while others merely pass by. A lot of things in life are like that.

Hi Ken
I like how you have managed the low speed here. The light also is beautifull. It give a beautifull and enigmatic picture
have a nice day

Very interesting effects, something of surrealist in those dizzy clothes ;))). Very funny and unusual one from an exposition.
Best regards, Grazyna.

Hi Ken,

Great shot. With some luck of course with the girl standing still for a moment, probably impressed on what she is seeing. I really like the movement blur here while we still have a good impression on what's there to see on the painting. Very creative and well executed photo....i like this.

Regards,

Henk

Hello Ken,

I like this capture very much. I recognize this, how in a busy museum, you sometimes just have to stop and look and look and keep looking, forgetting about everyone else. The one sandal in the middle is a bit odd, it might be better if it was a bit blurred too.

a superb result Ken ... the kind of photo I really like. An excellent capture of the life in a museum indeed.

Salut Ken
Et oui il y a des fantômes dans les musées.. Ils n'apparaissent que sur les photos..
Le résultat est génial..

Oh, man...
This is to appreciate the pure magic of photography in its entire spectrum !

What a beauty... What a combination of colors, movements and pure, sublime art...

Strong hand shake for this one, buddy mate

Hello Ken! GREAT the movement you have added, yes this is how it goes in museums, a constant stop and go. But sometimes they stand forever. Last time I was in a museum four young people were hanging over one picture for the whole time I was in the museum discussing wildly. Actually, not only the move is great but also the old paintings that we can see just a little making an interesting mix between "dust" and flip-flops :))) Happy Sunday ... Barbara.

Hi Ken

I like very much your composition and the way you managed with the speed. The result is striking, under a beautiful soft but bright light. The woman comes out very well, and I like your note very much as well. Fortunately, you also stopped!
Regards
Marine

I think this is the right way to take pictures in the museums.
People have to be the real subjects. People and art.
Very clever and original interpretation

What catches my attention is the spectacular contrast of men painted in their formal outfits and barelegged visiting "ballerinas". And the blur makes me think of time machine rather ;))

Hello Ken,
clever and creative, this is very enjoyable. The motion blur gives an impression of ghost people, represtig all thos that have viewed these paintings in the past.

Interesting experiment here, Ken (small aperture, long exposure) - and I like the result, it works for me aesthetically.
cheers,

That is extraordinarily well done, Ken, hat's off to you, sir. Timed perfectly, sharp where yu wanted it and motion blurred the rest of the way...
Prime!

Hey Ken,
Great image captured wisely and well seen! It's not easy isolating one person out of a crowd, and you've done just that and with a smart use of shutter speed.
I like it!

hi Ken,
I like this one, good effect thanks to the speed control.
Ghostly silhouettes go through the room without stopping, in a hurry to see others famous paintings (like tourists often do, visiting big museums). In the meantime, two visitors take the time in front of this one.
Technically well done and good metaphor of massive tourism.
