[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
If you're less than 14, and you're uber-cool, then trainers with wheels are for you! In England the streets are packed with these kids on wheels zooming around. The uber-coolest ones even have LEDs on their wheeled shoes!!! The not so cool ones have those with Aladin.
I am quite jealous, shoes weren't that fun when I was a kid.

PS: it's not photoshop, it's a proper paning shot ;-)

Hi Nicolas, really good panning shot, and you have caught her expression really well. She is nicely frozen too - very crisp detail.

But I do have a problem with these shoes. British kids are some of the most obese in the world - for some walking is the only exercise they get. So what do we do - invent shoes with wheels in so now they don't even have to walk anywhere !

Best regards, Roberto

Hi Nicolas,
Very good colors, sharpness and details. But I prefer to see more of right side of capture and the girl on the left. Otherway I could see the speed in this photo :))

Joli filé oú le pied levé de la petite fille nous parait congeler l'image, le temps s'arrête. C'est trés bien fait.
Amicalement,
Jean-Claude

love that pan

we see one of her feet in the toes up heel down position needed for the wheels to work - the first time i saw someone on these heelies (the wheels only being in the heels) i was amazed - yes i bet they are fun

Great picture, perfect timing for the expression too! Were you panning on a tripod or hand held? Something I;ve not tried yet..

incroyable cette photo et ces chaussures .. comment faire pour freiner dans les descentes? ca dit etre drole de les voir se pavaner, avant.. et faire dans leur froc, apres;-)) LOL

excellent panning!
Eric

Hi Nocolas,
Wonderful pan and I love it that you caught her looking towards the camera.

Perfect panning shot Nicolas! This is a very difficult (at least for me) technique. You can get the sense of speed with this shot.

Well done,
Cheers
