Speed, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur, South

Photographer's Note

Sur la corniche qui surplombe le quai de la Joliette, j'ai trouvé un bon endroit avec ce réverbère et les 2 flèches de direction. Il ne reste plus qu'à attendre une voiture (une seule), rouge de préférence. Diaphragme au maxi pour avoir une vitesse lente, j'attends et scrute le flot. Enfin, je l'ai eue!

Hello Claude,
I really love this simple yet effective composition. The red car contrasts perfectly against the black and white from the road. Thanks for sharing,
Jules

bonjour Claude,
belle vision urbaine : une rue, des signalisations, un réverbère, une courbe, une voiture, rouge. Composition bien étudiée, de la couleur et du mouvement.
A cet instant, on ne sait encore si la voiture va aller tout droit ou prendre à gauche.

Bonjour Claude
Great image with a powerful impact, a steady tone made from a high-contrast film is truely pleasant. Red in motion blur on the white signs is superb. I like this strong color a lot.
I used to use this Nikon FE, too.

Hello Claude, the composition is very smart with a perfect mix of colors (red, blue, yellow, opver black and white, just great !)
I just think they are a bit oversaturated. The red and blue look a bit too fake.

Creative shooting - great birds eye view moment. The vibrant red really jumps out, good shot.

hi Claude,
there's something captivating in this photo, but I find it almost impossible to define what exctly. on the first glance it is just a blurred car on the street, but after a while the photo grows on you, especially the dirty dark bacground and few saturated colour accents, I find it very urban, as in "dirty streets in big city". elevated point of view adss a poster-like quality. interesting :)

best,
Kristine

salut claude
l'idée est excellente dans ce cadrage et je reconnais que ce n'est pas facile surtout avec un FE, la rafale aurai bien aidé pour avoir la voiture moins centré, mais un cadrage qui fonctionne bien, bravo
amitiés

Salut Calude! I love your composition, lots of geometry. Make me wonder which way the car is going...:> Thanks for sharing...Alex

Hi Claude,
An odd abstract kind of shot with shapes and colours as the dominant elements, quite creative.
