~ on the streets ~, a photo from Ho Chi Minh, South East

Photographer's Note

Here is a capture about traffic madness in busy street of Saigon with a constant flow of motorbikes - yes mass of motorbikes out there as most people have two wheelers and rely heavily on them. Cars are not
affordable or practical in the busy streets. Saigon does have a smog problem but not much from cars, it's the small motorbikes & scooters that rule the road and the fumes are really choking sometimes.

This country is also the apparent world centre for motorbikes and scooters as there are about 45 million bikes with a population of over 90 million.

Merely a simple grab shot of every day life going on here.

Setting: 70 mm, 1/15 sec, F4.5, ISO 200, 1800 hrs

Hi Abmdsudi,i think that this is a typical and common scene from Saigon, with a lot of motorcycles and a great confusion always. As usual your choice to show this moment is a winner,with this long exposure to create this moving effect,i like it! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Abmdsudi,
A great daily life shot of this intersection so crowded with all those people on motorbikes. You captured them very well with a nice motion blur, which stands out well from the sharp surroundings.

Hi Abmdsudi
This just had to be Saigon and a likely the way you landed up with the more distant ones sharp and the closer ones nicely blurred.
cheers
