Two friends sharing a ride.
I was waiting patiently for something interesting to happen on the street, looking through the viewfinder of my camera while squatting on the small staircase on the rooftop of my home in Kolkata. It was a summer afternoon and the heat had ensured that most humans were inside their adobe, leaving the streets empty. After a long wait, I finally saw two boys (friends I assume) approaching on a bicycle. Although the subject was not very interesting, I almost felt like I hit upon an oasis after the long wait, prompting me to immediately visualize the scene in a very idyllic setting — I didn’t care about the details any more, all I wanted was to capture the feeling. I felt that the best way to capture the feeling at that moment was to move away from a sharp photograph. I reduced the shutter speed and shook the camera just a little to get the impressionistic effect.

Hi Imelda,
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Love this one!
Thank you very much Jude. Yours in an amazing blog!
Perfect – even in this abstract view, I find myself wondering what the peron on the back is looking back at!
Thank you, The Retiring Sort! Honestly, I have no idea about that, although I have thought about the same thing too… 🙂
nice one

Hi Anne,
Thanks for your kind words.
It’s so interesting that the blurriness in the unfocused image actually conveys the feeling of motion better than a crisp still shot can.
I agree with you. I really love some of the panned-motion-blurred images. I get my inspiration from the great Erst Haas. Thanks you for dropping by.
