Wow, that chopper looks like he is really going hell-for-leather. Excellent work on portraying that frantic movement with exactly the right shutter speed. I do feel like I am looking at a master chef in action.
"He"???? LOL! Of course, it's another one of my 1 am shots ("Let's get this over with..."), so it's me. Of course, I AM a master chef! At least, I can chop onions, huh? ;)
It's funny, but I had to slow down the action and exaggerate the motion so you could see the knife at all. When I went too fast and not high enough, there was just a slightly darker, unrecognizable fuzz spot on the photo.
DJL, I've always heard it said "Hell bent for leather" in Texas. I know what it means, but the literalism escapes me.
Having done a month on motion I admire this shot but before I saw the comment in your blog I had not recognised the knife in the forumview. So perhaps slow down even a tad more next time to have the knife a little more clear among the motionblurs.
What a cool shot. Definitely falls into the motion blur categoty. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteWell done capturing the chopping motion of the knife so well. I know it's harder than it looks!!

ReplyDeleteWhohoo! Great speed shot, Kat! (Hell-for-leather? I am clearly not familiar with all the down-under sayings.)

Fantastic motion blur shot. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely motion blur. What a funny time to be chopping onions. This challenge can make us do strange things.
