Best Friends

These 2 girls were holding hands as they rode a swing ride at a

street fair.

This is the sort of thing that makes photography so downright awesome. It is SO much about the way we SEE! Great photo/ kudos!

What a timed shot!! Great Job!!!

Original, great timing!

Michael, I love all your shots! I can not comment one by one, every new upload is amazing.

Wonderful.

Michael ,you honor me with your comparison,I hope HCB feels the same way. Thank you

Better than the flying bullets in Matrix. Absolutely beautiful.

Awesome -- quantum mechanics applied to classical scale...

Great idea, well done!

What a great gem I found today on photo.net

 

I know that's thirty years ago, but do you remember how you "saw" the shot and what you did below the carousel?

 

Did you pan? I guess 1/125th should have been enough, do you happen to remember the speed?

 

Moreover, is this cropped? If it is not so, I'm even more impressed by the way the four seats nicely fill all the space, the feet of the left person are projecting us out of the frame.

 

To add even more to my amazement, the bokeh to the back gives even more a funny, fuzzy, dizzy, feeling of movement to it all.

I can't remember exactly what I was thinking at the time. I was panning as I took the photo . I do this a lot in photographs to show motion. I would think this was shot at 1/125 or 1/60 of a second. As far as the seats in the background ,I was just lucky. Being in the right spot,at the right time,with the right lens,with the right Idea,plus LUCK gives you the shot. Remember,the great theme of this photo came from the girls ,not me.

You are a modest and diminutive guy and you know that... The girls were holding hands in some remote spot thirty years ago, but you pulled out something which froze that timeless moment. I can only repeat how licky (since you prefer it this way) you were in pulling this out... I have the impression, and some look in the archives seems to confirm this, that lenses of thirty and more years ago had this different out-of-focus shaky bokeh type of thing which for this picture nicely complements the overall feeling of action.

what a fantastic shot! it's all been said already - love it!

taken too many shots at amusement parks and never come close. It is the hands but so much more. The lines of the supports against the grey background, the feet, the lack of faces (I probably would have tried to get the faces but it works better without them). And of course the movement.

 

You have a truly awesome range. (Although I am most drawn to your people)

Just one adjetive...Excellent!!

Incredible image one of my all time favs I've seen here!

Et comme tout le monde l'a dit, je trouve cette photo extraordinaire. Elle est charg饠de sens et elle est belle.

Magnifique !

Another of your amazing images that is so much more than the sum of its parts. It is also an essay on life, friendship and the ties that bind.

 

Funny, this picture and several others of yours on Pnet are worth so much more than the 12.5 Million paid for Warhol's Red Liz...but don't get me started.

Wow ! Superb shot, original angle, a picture full of live. I like it.

Best regards, Fernand.

Just beautiful!
