Motorbike Rider Motion Blur

Yamaha Motorbike display at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, 2007

Motion blur is frequently employed in sports photography (particularly motor sports) to show a sense of speed. To achieve the effect it is necessary to use a slow shutter speed and pan the lens of the camera in time with the motion of the object. This is quite tricky, but I feel this image captures the sense of motion very well. So yes there are some blurred parts of the bike but it is intentional!! The important part of the face is sharply in focus (you can even see the expression on the guys face.

Appears in Motion blur, Motocross and Yamaha Motor Company

Weak support The crispness is well done for a moving target. However, there are bright white glares on the helmet and placard, and ideally I'd like to see more of where the rider is riding to. While it's a difficult shot, and there are incredible qualities to it, I think a better shot can be taken. Support nonetheless :) Puddyglum 19:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Support; size is fine, focus is excellent, details are great, no problems at all. A picture that is fit to be promoted, in my opinion. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 02:50, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Despite overexposure, picture is very sharp and serves its purpose well. Wwelles14 16:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
