About Subject background: Another followup in my "waiting in the dark series". The setting is the same as here

http://www.usefilm.com/image/546770.html

PS concept: I really wanted that fat, bold, black look. and the fountains of lights as contrast. so all user of dark monitors: Please forgive me ;-) I cloned out a McDonalds sign that was seen in the window like black area.

Honest feedback highly appreciated

This bridge will only take you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arad fairs
And moonlit woods wher unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there, The last few step you'll have to take alone.
Thanks for this shot.
Golboo.

Hi Kevin,

thanks a lot for the honest words. that's what I like and what I want =)

as for the motion blur: I guess your idea with the frozen moment is great. But sometimes, even the best ideas cannot be performed. It may be possible to get up to 1/30 (the actual shutter speed was 1/10 with f/1.8), but only at the cost of ISO 800. Even at 1/30, I fear that motion blur isn't avoidable.

anyway, I really keep your idea in mind. thanks a lot!

also der starke Hell-Dunkel Kontrast ist genial...immer gerne gesehen, besonders dann noch gekrönt mit einem Award...

Das 'M' wäre ein vielleicht zu krasser Kontrast zu den eleganten Menschen...sie scheinen auf einen Abend in der Oper oder so zu warten...

Liebe Grüße

an (almost)unreal but wonderful scene,
love the big contrast of light and the silhouetted people.
once again, well done, and congrats for the deserved SC

Kevin Christensen   {K:3891} 5/11/2005
Nice tones in this image! The lighting is very dynamic, and looks great. I also like the balance in the image. I think the large black square in the upper right balances with the large group of people on the other side. I'm glad you cloned out the McD's sign, too. Advertising is distracting.

My only one thing I dislike is the blurred figures. I realize that was probably out of your control, but it would have looked great if it were 'frozen' in time.

Eh. That's my honest opinion. Do with it what you please. Great looking photo, by the way, I like it a lot.

-Kevin

Hi Thilo.
Congratulations on the Staff Choice award Thilo! It's nice to see this type of photo get some recognition. I really like these motion blurr night shots that show activity all around. I assume this one is a single shot at 1/15 sec. I was planning on trying some using a tripod and taking two or more images with different shutter speeds. I don't want to give away too many ideas but how about one frozen person (taken with a higher shutter speed) in the middle of a crowd with everyone all around in a blurr? (taken with a slow shutter speed) Then merge the two together.

Great shot and treatment. I like the fact that you kept the upper left that way, suggesting a light source rather than closing the image by burning it there. Nice going with the cloning-out too, for all sorts of reasons (hehe) - Regards /Hansi
