Switzerland in Motion Photo

Photographer’s Note

Each autumn brings again the Herbschtsmäss to Basel, together with its lot of attractions in several places of the inner city, time for fun including photo fun using zoom during exposure to get this psychedelic motion effect in form of an Iroquois hair cut on the ferris wheel

Best viewed having a beer and heissi Marroni...

great colors and motion! this has an amazing effect! well done!

i do find the bright blue in the bottom distracting, i think it would be better if it was cropped out.

buscape (3589) 2009-10-22 9:47

Hello Jean Yves,
very effective use of zooming during expusure with an unreal but great result. The colours are fantastic and I like your interpretation with the Iroquois hair cut on the ferry wheel. Interesting photo technique, I like it.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Morning again Jean

When will you stop posting amazing photos?!

the colours are superbly bright and clear. what is best, is that the black areas are vivid black without noise or distortion.
beautifully framed
Nicely done
Thanks
Craig

Hello Jean Yves
I like this kind of pics and sometimes I too try this experiment using the flashlight.. you had the right subject here, perfect for such a pic, and the final result is stunning. Congratulations and have a good evening!
Rikk

Dashab (847) 2009-10-22 10:47

Hello Jean Yves,
What a cool shot! Interesting use of the zooming in/out technique and a fantastic result! Love the colours and the Iroquois parallel. And chesnuts are a good idea! Have a nice evening, Dasha

Hello Jean

Very well created image using the technique of zoom during exposure, the result is amazing. Very colourful and well presentated. Well done! Thanks for sharing. Have a nice evening.

Best regards, Erling

cbrman (18796) 2009-10-22 11:42

Hello Jean-Yves,

Je me souviens de tes images pleines de mouvement.
En voici encore un bel exemple. Une photographie avec un effet de zooming très fort mais très réussi. Le mouvement est bien linéaire. C'est bientôt la fête à Bâle.
Bien vu !

A+

jemaflor (39235) 2009-10-22 11:53

Salut JY,
très effet avec ces lumières colorées et le temps de pose, intéressant et origial resultat, bon dynamisme.

TravelerNL (2951) 2009-10-22 12:11

Hi JY,
Without reading the note I thought had been doing quite some creative photoshopping or combining photo's ...
On some places (like in the bottom) it looks like the movement was not constant but staged.
Nice creativity you are showing here.
Have a nice evening,
Harko

gilou530 (35051) 2009-10-22 12:42

salut JY
ca part dans tous les sens des couleurs partout, un super choix de la vitesse, je pense que tu as du faire des essais de choix de vitesse, bien vu
amitiés

Fantastic zooming YJ , you know I love this kind of shot , this one is really great and goes directly to my dedicated theme , many compliments.
Stefano.

corniste (4214) 2009-10-22 13:17

Bonsoir Jean-Yves,

En, tout cas sur ta photo, on est pas en train de s'ennuyer! Il ne manque que la musique pour rocker en rythme. J'imagine qu'il a fallu pas mal d'essai pour avoir quelque chose de satisfaisant! C'est d'autant plus méritoire que le cadrage est superbement maîtrisé!

Bonne soirée,

Jeff

bobocortis (14140) 2009-10-22 13:30

Ciao JY.
Double mouvement: circulaire (naturel) et centrifuge (artificiel).
Une idée sympa pour une photo originale.
Bien vu.
Amicalement, Bobo.

Sistercosmo (2571) 2009-10-22 13:40

Hi Jean-Yves,

just one word - fabulous!!! I love it - so colorful and full of dynamics. Great!

Have a good evening and a nice weekend too!

Linda

P.S. pass the Maroni - I don't drink beer. ;-) But if you have some red wine around...

vasilpro (8506) 2009-10-22 14:19

Hello Jean Yves,
Wonderful graphic colorful composition full of motion with great light management, excellent shot, very nice frame.
Kind regards, Vasilis.

emka (21179) 2009-10-22 14:20

Hi Jean Yves,

This wheel with colourful rays looks like a gigantic sunflower . Astonishing effect. Nice colours contrasting beautifully with the dark sky. Great idea.

That is a spectacular photo, I am amazed by the riot of colours and angles of the light.
Great work

cheers
John

avene (10942) 2009-10-22 20:43

looks like somebody was smoking something, lol :) love the shot, the colours seem to be exploring on the screen, and I can swear the blue patch on the bottom moved while I was writing this. festive, cheerful, psychodelic, really great :)

best,
Kristine

barni (14495) 2009-10-22 22:55

Salut Jean-Yves

Bonne journée

subhendu_bagchi (2942) 2009-10-23 2:48

Namaste JY,
fantastic successful effort to show the reality of the wheel. Nice blur which gives the effect of motion. Ideal POV. Nice colours. It looks really well in black background. Very well done. Tfs.
Have a nice day.
Subhendu

mauro61 (15222) 2009-10-23 2:59

ciao JY,
una vera esplosione di colori in questo tuo bellissimo scatto.
Grande la dinamicità resa e perfetto lo sfondo scuro della sera a dare contrasto.
buona giornata
maurizio

papagolf21 (56217) 2009-10-23 3:11

Bonjour, cher Jean-Yves,
Très bel effet stroboscopique à travers cette grande roue en mouvement.
Les couleurs chantent avec bonheur.
Je m'incline devant la technique et le talent !
Amitiés.
Philippe

delpeoples (5844) 2009-10-23 5:40

Salut JY, coooeee! What a shot. It's unique, beautifully rendered and makes such an impact on the viewer. I like your use of the vertical fram, the explosion of colour and the clairy of the image. Great work, enjoy your w/e, Lisa.

yquem46 (7832) 2009-10-23 5:44

Bonjour JY
Je ne sais comment tu as fait mais le résultat, cette orgie de couleurs, de lumières et de mouvements, est très visuel!
Superbe
A afficher à l'entrée de totes les foires de France et de navarre
Bravo

sayeed_rahman (2265) 2009-10-23 10:07

baba_flies (7953) 2009-10-24 0:44

Hallo Jean Yves! Du bist und bleibst der Meister dieser verrueckten Chilbi-Szenen, jedes ist wieder anders und alle sind einfach cool. Hier finde ich das Verwischen der Realitaet faszinierend, es wird einem fast ein wenig anders. Herzliche Gruesse von ennet dem Berg, gottseidank ist der Schnee wieder weg, ich dachte schon ich nehme den Schlitten hervor :))) Barbara.

ChrisJ (70065) 2009-10-24 1:39

Bonjour Jean-Yves

A fantastic nocturnal shot of the colourful Ferris Wheel, with good sharpness, graphism & low pov looking up. I like the radial pattern of all the spokes. Merci et bon weekend!

pasternak (13238) 2009-10-24 2:19

Nice effect, the colors jump out of the screen...
and after a few beers it starts to turn...

Cheers
A

Royaldevon (5890) 2009-10-24 3:28

Bonjour JP,

Oh, Wow!
What colour!
What an explosion of colour!
What inferred movement!

This is the sort of experimental shot that is in my photographic books! I love what you have achieved here, it just jumps off the screen!

Have a great w/e, my friend,
Bev :-)

francio64 (10814) 2009-10-24 5:09

Ciao caro Jean,
spettacolare immagine con spiccato senso del grafismo e del movimento.

Complimenti!
Francesco

darek1978 (11165) 2009-10-24 5:59

Hi Jean Yves,
Beautiful composition with the wheel in motion. The effect from long exposure in the lights gives a drawing feeling to the picture. Very impressive photo. Well done!
Thanks for sharing,
Darek

jafadabret (39417) 2009-10-24 8:30

Bonjour Jean-Yves.
J'aime beaucoup cet effet de feux d'artifice obtenu par une vitesse lente et un zoom sur la roue et son environnement. Du grand art !
Un vrai plaisir !
Amicalement
Jacques

JCG (25155) 2009-10-24 9:02

Bonsoir Jean-Yves,

C'est fou ce que l'effet de la bière bue à haute dose peut avoir sur la vision !!! Psychédélique cette photo et quelle belle gestion de toutes ces lumières colorées, ça en jette ça c'est sûr. Bien vu Jean-Yves.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon WE,

Jean-Charles

rodgerg (23757) 2009-10-25 7:41

Dear Jean Yves,

Magnificent compo, vibrant colors and a very good light. The effect of wheel movement is spectacular. Great capture!

Greetings

InasiaJones (20020) 2009-10-26 23:38

Salut champion,

Une coupe mohawk en feu, un coup de poignet bien réussi.

Ça réinvente le genre, ou du moins, ça lui insuffle une dimension plus spectacuaire.

Chapeau pour faire différent sur un sujet que tu as déjà visité à quelques reprises.

Ciao!

André

guitianmiranda (3600) 2009-10-27 2:49

I love these pictures, just to say that I am wondering to find a good wheel to try a long exposition to catch it.

Best regards.

delkoo (34194) 2009-10-27 4:18

Vraiment splendide! Ce coup de zoom donne un sacré effet qui ajoute à l'impression de mouvement un effet graphique splendide. Une merveille dans le genre.
Amitiés
JJ

polpo56 (7888) 2009-10-29 0:47

Hi JV,
an explosion in color.
This picture conveys a great energy. I also like very much the way graph.

Ciao Jean Yves, fantastic exposure, wonderful festival of colors, very well done, have a good Sunday, ciao Silvio

Angshu (33561) 2009-11-01 21:09

Bonjour JY
A fine experiment mixing slow shutter speed and your action with the zoom lens. The radial lights creates an effect of psychedelia, and your picture is proof of how your creativity was able to create a picture of a Ferris Wheel, so very different
Best Regards
Angshu

didemay (2431) 2009-11-03 1:34

It is dashing Jean Yves. It is as if the colors are moving and creating a 3 dimension.
Best Regards,
Didem

skippy007 (6963) 2009-11-03 4:23

Hello JY, You have executed the Zoom out? to perfection in this shot, the colours are bright & enhance the effect. Well done, Compliments

fanni (8733) 2009-11-06 3:01

Hello Jean Yves,
I do not have a beer at hand to view this photo in the best way ;) But even without the beer this is a VERY impressive shot! I like its idea being unusual and original. Looks like fantastic fireworks, the scene is filled with fire, dynamism, lots of energy... :)
Excellent POV from which it was possible to create such an effect!
Warm greetings from cold grey gloomy Moscow,
Elena

axiotea (16053) 2009-11-06 20:13

Salut J.Yves visage pâle ;)
la 1ère chose qui me soit venue en tête en regardant cette image est celle d'un couvre chef Indien d'Amérique...
Je n'ai jamais fait de photos dans une fête foraine et en voyant celle-ci, ça me donne envie d'en faire...
Intéressante cette utilisation du zoom pendant l'expo...
(ici pas de marrons, de la bière oui mais pas terrible ;)
Amitiés
Marilyn
