The Ghost Rider

I called this photo The Ghost Rider because it looks like a nebulous thing passing by… πŸ™‚

This was an example of motion blur photography I gave in my article: “To Focus or Not To Focus” at Travelways.com. Sometimes I like playing with this kind of shooting.Β  It’s not only fun, but the results are quite provocative. That’s why I decided to make it as a separate post.

Standing on the sidewalk, I noticed this bike rider coming from far, and I anticipated the scene. To make the image more interesting, I positioned myself in front of the pedestrian crosswalk. This way I had a fixed point of reference. My camera was set to manual focus and at slow speed.Β  From here, taking the photo was just a matter of clicking at the right moment. I clicked and the ghost rider on his bike became part of my motion photography art gallery πŸ™‚

There was no point to take this photo in color, since all I wanted to obtain was a simple fuzzy silhouette of the rider. The result is a Black and White photo, quite interesting I think.
