action and speed Photo

Photographer’s Note

It is just a polo match photo between to local teams. I shot it on slow speed while panning the camera when they were chasing the ball.

Good shot. Nice panning, I think your choice of shutter speed was just right to give us the blurred background (and mallets and legs), while keeping three of the four faces/heads in the photo (counting the two horses) quite sharp. Interesting, polo is something I wouldn't associate with India, but thinking of the English influence, that is strictly me being naive.

Great panning. Composition is complete, no part of subject is out of frame. Action also captured at the right moment. Bravo.

hi arvind
what a coincidence
even i was here the day the final was being played. i might have seen you around infact.. hehe
like darren said, good panning involved here.
i also shot a few photogrpahs, but with a fully manual, so it was a little tough to get shots, since you have to control the focus , the aperture , and the shutter speed quite fast and since my 80-200 lens is quite heavy, it was even tougher. let;s see how the result is . i hope it's as effective as yours
take care :)

Great shot with all the speed impression with good colors balance on the greens and the persons. Fine capture with excellent result.
