miscallaneous. Do you Remember.

Do you rememer this athelete? I took this pic many years ago at

Gateshead Stadium.I don't remember the camera or lens but I do know

It made me some money at the time. I'll give you a clue - She was

South African but ran for England and without shoes.

Zola Budd

OK for the record. As far as for a photograph, she is frozen in mid air. A panned photo would have made it dynamic. Whites are overexposed by at least one stop. Shadow detail on the ground would have given interest. Blurred background from panning would have added dimension. I have seen Kipchoge Keino, in Nairobi, in his heyday, run a barefoot sub-4- minute mile

Thomas thak you for your comment. In those days we did not do panned shots for magazines and newspapers we used fast shutter speeds and froze the action.Bear in mind this was a from a print I found to day lying in a drawer in my house. It was posted for historical reasons and not for photographic excellence.I have searched for some of your masterpieces but failed to find any. Do you have any in order that we can look and learn. I doubt it.

Great photojounalist picure. You captured her expresion!

Some of Tom Turk's masterpieces can be found at this link. http://tomturkphoto.tripod.com To bad you can't leave him a few comments on that site. But since he is a master, he probably wouldn't want our opinions anyway.

Roger. I dis eventually find them- all 5 of them I found them to be very artistic 3 of them especially. He has managed to perfect the art of out of foucus garbage. The like of which I Site never witnessed before. He truly is a master and a great ambassador for photography and this site in particular.

I am not sure about the spelling but I remember her well.

 

The picture looks fine to me.

 

addendum.... I see someone has pointed that out already! Oh well!

Your photo is fine piece of photojournalism history, and thank you for sharing it with us. I love my digitals, but I also miss shooting b&w film and working in the darkroom to produce the final prints. You found the TT masterpieces too, I see. We can't all confer with the masters like the jet set does. Isn't it awe inspiring to have been graced with the the countenance of greatness?

 

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Thanks Spencer. TT forever.

What a classic photograph Danny.(one you should be proud of.

Regarding that imbocile Thomas Birk (I mean Turk) all I can say is,I have had a look at his classic shots (all 5 of them)and (we all could take better pictures useing a through away camera.or a hose pipe The trouble with this Joker is, jealousy, as he can not for the life of himself take decent pictures ,he has to try to be the big time critic.He must know he is a joke as he is to embarrased to put his shutter where him mouth is and stand up to be counted.I have about 630 photos on the site, and I will say it is a great high class site with (in my mind ,high class photographers).Danny you could blinfold yourself and be better than this Joke anytime (and everyone knows it ) Keep all you new (and old ones coming Danny ,it is the likes of you that make the site and Birk (i mean Turk) that gives us all a right laugh.
