Hi Goncalo
This is a superb picture.
If the train was slightly sharper, it would be a perfect one.
Bravo

Olá Gonçalo,

ótimo panning. Gostei de ver todo esse movimento registrado por você. Os 1/8 segundo foi suficiente para o blur necessário a esse resultado. Bela captura, amigo!
Abraço,
Carlos

Hi Goncalo,
Splendid impression with attractive composition I like the vivid colours and the blurred details. Very well done! Have a nice evening
George

ciao Goncalo
L'effet de mouvement et là,pour cela,il aurait je pense faire plusieurs pries car le tramm et un peu flou dommage.

Hi Goncalo,
Wonderfull ! Very nice graphical effect. Nice colors and a perfect compo. 1/8 shutter speed was good choice.
TFS and best regards

Hello Goncalo,

A lovely whirlwind effect in this fitting tribute to Lisboa's trams. Long may they run!

Benny

Hello Goncalo,
I will go to Lisboa next week and I am looking forward to seeing this typical view of your city by myself.
I like the yellow harmony of your shot and the speed impression we feel when looking at it.
Well done.

Marianne

Como é que conseguiste pôr um eléctrico a andar tão depressa?
:-)
Muito bem feito.
Um abraço,

Oi, Gonçalo
Ótima tomada, o "panning" ficou prá lá de 10! Eu o achei muito bom, mesmo. Gostei das cores que ressaltam mais ainda a técnica. Bom trabalho, um abraço, Consuelo

Hi Goncalo
Well thought out pic use of slow shutter speed and panning tech nearly make this a winner, for me the tram needs to be a bit sharper, but keep trying and posting

Ola Goncalo,

wonderful image, one of your best! Excellent way to take the shot in a blurry way. The subject is very well taken.

Olá Gonçalo. Very nice o efeito criado. O título assenta que nem uma luva, o que talvez não acontecesse com o eléctrico mais nítido.Parabéns. Paulo

interesting shot, attractive colours, the panning is not perfect, but hey ! not easy to catch a tram faster than a bullet !

Good tram shot - with nice use of blurring. I like the yellows throughout the shot - it keeps a sense of consitency.
Nicely executed!

Hi Goncalo,
Quite extreme pan. I guess it's the controversy that attracts on this one. Those trams are certainly not known for their speed, but it surely looks fast on this one.

hi goncalo
nice panning on the yellow tram, i would have liked sharper on the tram by anyways it's a good photo.

Very interesting and nice dynamic effect, I like this combination of yellow, white and grey. Well captured.

Ola Goncalo
Apresar de algo desfocado o electrico a foto esta magnifica. Moveste a maquina mais rapido do que o electrico. Foi um desfazamento ou foi intencional ?
As cores e o efeito de movimento estao excelentes
Um abraço Amigo
Aires

Oi Gonçalo,
Belo efeito que você conseguiu aqui. Uma brilhante idéia de movimento .
Abraços
Maria

hi Goncalo

Good motion blur capture for your intended purpose of speed. Good placement of train. But a train of this build cannot really be faster than a bullet, it needs aerodynamic. :) That is beside the point.

TFS, bill

Hola Goncalo,
É uma fotografia extraordinária do eléctrico mais rápido do mundo! É incroyable quando conhece-se a verdadeira velocidade de deslocação! Bravo para a ideia e a realização.
Parabéns.

Olá Gonçalo,
Uma imagem cheia de dinamismo. A sensação de movimento está bem conseguida com o tremido na dose certa e as cores ficam muito bem: amarelo, amarelo, preto, branco mais a mancha azul e a outra vermelha.

Hello Goncalo,

This is one of the most difficult deciplines in the photography, baning!
I know this very well, together with the camera just also moving and the exposure suit top the speed on your subject.
I think that here the tram with something the high exposure maybe was F/12 here excellent.
But I find your effort very well.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice Pentecost weekend,
John.

Olá Gonçalo,
la exposición lenta da una gran sensación de velocidad en esta escena del tranvía amarillo. Bien captada, la imagen es muy dinámica, tiene una buena luz y un colorido vivo, que funciona perfectamente.
Buena foto, muy efectiva y atractiva a la vista.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Gonçalo, j'aime beaucoup cette photo du tramway avec un filé qui n'est pas parfait mais qui laisse un peu de flou à l'engin comme si sa vitesse était excessive. Cela donne une photo très dynamique et pleine de poésie.

lol, this one's funny... almost like a cartoon. your blurred panning technique has done wonders to speed this little yellow box up. just some funky music is missing in the background ;) TFS

Great panning effect. The feeling of motion is excellent the colors very good.

Hola Goncalo:

Sencillamente fantastico. El dinamismo que ofrece tu toma es insuperable, lo cual permite apreciar los elementos en su punto, a pesar de la leve distorsion.

Gran encuadre, buenas tonalidades.

John

Olá Gonçalo,
Não posso dizer que a foto esteja perfeita mas é uma boa tentativa e o fundo da foto é bastante bom para tentar o 'panning'. Mas de facto, o fundo, e só o fundo deveriam estar desfocados não o eléctrico, mas reconheço que não é nada fácil conseguir fazê-lo com uma maquina digital, não sei o porquê mas conseguia fazer melhor com a analógica.
O tripé será um a boa solução para tentar o 'panning' e assim evitar defocar o eléctrico mas terás de ter em conta que se a rua tiver algum declive vais ficar com a foto torta.
De todas as formas a foto é bastante interessante e levas o verdinho pela tentativa:)
Um abraço.
Paulo

Thanks Gonçalo for another of your tramway shots. Although this is a little blurred, it's very dinamic.
My compliments

Olá Gonçalo,
muito boa esse panning do eléctrico, deu um dinamismo muito bom a foto, ficou até parecendo que ele é bem veloz, belo trabalho amigo.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Superb motion effect
I wish to learn how to create this effect !!!
All the best

I like the panning of this shot, you almost got it. Congrats, its a difficult shot.

Hello Gonçalo,
Je choisi de venir commenter cette photo car c’est justement mon sujet du jour : « les tramways de Lisbonne » !
J’aime beaucoup cette réalisation avec cette sensation de vitesse,
Une position idéale de l’électricos dans ton image et excellent cadrage,
Du très bon boulot !
Bien à toi et à bientôt,
Robert

Ola Goncalo,

Belissimo panning. Os tons de amarelo do bonde e das fachadas ao fundo tornam a foto ainda mais atraente.

Abracos,

Hi Goncalo, we almost think that this electric is fast ;-))
But my experience at Lisbon is that they don't ride fast except for the one road that go's to belem. There the elctric did go so fast that i thought that something was wrong with the breaks.
LOvely pic and also thanks for the update photo of your little baby.
Best regards

A most original capture for the typical trams of Lisboa G. Good idea to follow the tram and make for the motionwise capture as here. Really fun title..
