to look for america ... SQLater

Bay Area Rapid Transit - BART - Oakland, California ...

 

Zoomed the lens during exposureee ..

Not sure if I have ever offerd a critique to you, here goes. Clone out the micheline(sp?) man/lady in the back left corner and you have a perfect shot! It gets in the way of the red white thing going on with the lights . Good Shot Ken!

Mmmmm you are 100% correct Grasshoppa' - I agree and complied with your suggestions which are always 100% welcome ...... And I have a tendency to withhold the best for last - so stay tuned - (-;

 

Thank you *J* - sometimes we get so close to our own work we easily overlook things - thanks for the elbow in the ribs - much appreciated ... !

Here is the previous version ....

Beautiful effect, Ken... I like this very much!

Thank you Brad - one thing I like about it is it's in-camera and not a PS trick .... and alot of fun - nice to see you old friend !

Much better! Great shot. Nice technique Ken.

long time no see, I notice you still shoot d@#* good...

High cowboy, you did inspire me, I want to try this, and I am just a little bit (okay a lot) jealous, seeing all those beautifull places you have been...

 

Els ;D

 

 

I like this one a lot... I keep trying this technique but never come out with such a good results.

Well done! Very cool! Take care

Cynthia - very nice to see you - as I mentioned I have several taken while waiting for BART that are better than this one - stay tuned - I'd like your opinion ... (-;

 

Teresa! - big smile - glad to hear you are trying it too - with your skills it should be very interesting - Gracias' Senorita ...

 

Els my old friend - you have a special relationship with the camera - go for it ... as far as traveling, I spent several hard years never leaving the city limits - the pendulum swings both ways - good and bad - as you certainly know - sol ...

 

Mr. Koot old friend I certainly miss you - thanks for stopping by - jaaaa (-;

Pretty cool composition. There is certainly no one who does it like you do. And there is no one quite like you (thank goodness) *insert rimshot*

 

I dig the colors here along with the horizontal and vertical lines. It is pretty amazing that you did this in camera.

It was alot of fun Dennis - I stationed myself at the top and 'zoomed' many people coming up - all wondering *wtf* I was doing - heh .... Entertaining oneself whilst waiting for BART in Oakland ... I actually shot this girl 3x in succession - this being the last of the 3 shots.

 

*and yes - even I thank goodness there is only one of me - I'd hate to get behind myself in line at the bank - gawdddd hurry up Dude! - (-; ...

You must be fast enough to remove your tripod. well seen. :0)

I see she's smiling, so she must have already figured out that you were crazy! :) Only you would have the guts to park it right there and mess with people as they reached the top! :) good for you! :) Janis' edit idea was good...she caught the little bit you missed...are you slippin', Cowboy? Good thing we're all here to keep you in line!

Spencer - Uhhhhhh - no tripod - I shoot from the hip Cowboy - (-; ..

 

Captain you are sooooooo right - damnit! - yes she saw thru me like a screen door - and yes, I figured out a way to mess with people without them knowing I'm messing with them - and without them knowing they are the subject of my camera - just sayin' - sol ...

 

Yes a good thing indeed - glm ...

Quite a stupendous accomplishment, Ken. One of your very best. I've tried these pictures ad nauseum, and they ain't easy. The smiling woman is the icing on the cake, of course.

emmanuel your visits mean a great deal - thank you very much for your time amigo ..

Nice effect, Zoom Master! Exactly how did you plan your route? It seems that you are driving in a zigzag motion all across America. Great shot from your hip. :)

Really cool effect, Ken. It has a "coming in from the light" feel to it; in opposition to "go toward the light" . . . I like it :-)

A photograph should somehow surprise you, lift you from the everyday and this one accomplishes that. Very nicely done.

Wow! Love this! Did you show the lady?

Hello kay - what plan? - what route? - (-; - yes I'm a bit all over the place - stay tuned .. !

 

Hi Kim - your visits mean alot - thanks for czeching in - (-; ..

 

Jack I appreciate your perspective very much - thank you Sir ...

 

Mr. Nicholssss - I've developed a 'technique' for not letting people know I've photographed them - so no, I kept it a secret - (-;

Well Ken, nothing like taking the mundane to a higher level. Good work
