Otherwise known as an Epic Fail. I was asked to photograph fast and the topic just stumps me completely. And before I continue with the story, I really do know better than attempting to shoot this under the existing conditions. Panning 18 wheelers, they are really big, dusk means light trails, wide angle lens may not be my friend. But at least I did cross processing to give it some interest.
Maybe I'm just in a "fav-y" kind of mood, but I really love, love this - the play of light and dark, the sense of movement and motion blur, the almost sun-like shine being reflected off the truck sides, all really beautiful!!
@westcoastwallis@seahawker I think this is the first "Epic Fail" shot of the year on 365, we should let everyone know (of course I have not memorized everyones new @s. I kind of like it myself and to be honest this really was the best of the bunch.
@westcoastwallis@seahawker@phillyphotos maybe you need to bring back Failtastic Friday. The shots we think are fails but ARE NOT. Love thew ay the light explodes out trailer the truck is pulling. It is moving
So not a fail! To tell you the truth I have not tried panning - so I bet mine would be much worse. Also I'm feeling a little bit tipsy, lightheaded, on drugs looking at this. That's kind of a good thing, no? LoL
is this for your class? Actually, it certainly conveys speed, so I think you accomplished your assignment.
I have to use flash this week for my class. I bought a speed light a while back and it has been sitting in the cabinet. I will be getting it out this weekend:)
@paula365 this was the get pushed challenge. My class is darkroom so it is pretty much getting to chose what you want to work on, which is really nice.
I absolutely love this - there's such a feeling of power and yes, speed. The almost watercolor effect paired with a very non-traditional watercolor subject makes this image so intriguing, awesome job!!! FAV
Very cool effect.
