Red
Shoe Shuffle
Should images of movement
use blur to prove it, and how much unintentional blur you can
pass off as 'intentional to show the movement' before someone
rumbles you is one of my preoccupations...
One of the tell-tale signs that it's unintentional is that both
the moving subject and the stationery background are fuzzy.
Another is when it looks like it's been artificially sharpened
to hell on the computer later.
Well, this shot suffers from a little bit of both of those
syndromes, but I like the composition enough to let it pass.
Namely, the placement of the feet is great, the shoes are
striking against the grey, the little stone slabs lead you
wonderfully into the shot, in the direction she's going too, and
there's nothing else to distract you like other people's feet or
cigarette butts to get in the way - oops, having said that I can
see some now (!) but they kinda meld in and possibly add to the,
umm, how can I say... promiscuity which bright red
shoes sometimes suggest... |
