Its edging towards darkness as it has been all day......... but now its raining and almost evening........ a London black cab is making it's way using stealth technology hardly detectable to the human eye along Camden High Street ....... but I have trained for years to execute these missions...... I am aware of it though no one else could possibly have seen it black out of black...... but just for a moment its almost picked out by rim light............
This is fantastic! Love the blur of colour and great panning![reply]bluechameleon @ November 25, 2009, 1:02 am
Thanks so much ...... I like this too...... its funny.......The color is all in the background the main subject is just way too black....... and yet it kind of works anyway........ :-))
Have you been fiddling with the vignette thingy? Whatever, it makes it look surreal... like it's floating...cool shot...![reply]Steve Marshall @ November 25, 2009, 8:04 am
Fantastic panning & against a really cool backdrop. Works so well. Would love to be able to master this technique like you have...[reply]Jason @ November 25, 2009, 1:33 am
Hey Jason...... My recommendation to Amin the first time he was talking about doing panning stuff...... was have a few beers so u don't care who is watching and what u look like....... get out there and practice over and over like you r working on your golf swing...... :-)) after a couple of years u will be alcoholic but u will be good at panning and golf...... hehehehe...... :-))
Hi Jez, Thanks for the fantastic advice...! I shall start training right away. I think having the beer after my round of golf rather than before is why I play off 24... Will let you know as soon as I have sorted the panning thing too...[reply]Jason @ November 25, 2009, 5:27 pm
Careful.....these stealth taxis could get in under the wire.... there will be sabotage, ambush, taxi-wrecks, angry fares... and finally, in a strangely unseen blaze of glory - those brash yellow imported spam taxis will be gone!!!! ;-)))) [reply]Steve Marshall @ November 25, 2009, 4:44 am
Black cab stealth technology is interesting and kind of scary....... those brooding lumbering machines in the half light of London...... they have their own draw..... but it will never take over from the yellow cab indegenous to this blog.......... no when u have yellow fever u know......yellow fever is hard to cure....... :-))
Tis a black stealth cab hurtling though the rainy, cold and windswept streets of "Gray Britain" at about eeerr 1/4 @ F2.8..1600 ISO I reckon..[reply]The Watford Wine Taster xxx @ November 25, 2009, 7:29 am
Yeah once u r out of the bright lights of the big city into the slightly less bright lights of the not so bright bits of the big city in gray gray Britain ....... u r looking at pushing that ISO and dropping those shutter speeeds bro ...... if the taxi is deploying full stealth technology and painted in light absorbing black........ you could be in trouble ...... unless u have the counter stealth chip inserted into u yourself....... u get the counter stealth chip from Harry Ramsdens...... the British chip and a pint of Stella is the only thing that can keep u going in the extreme gray that it is possible to encounter in the UK....... even at midday...... :-))
Cheers baby the future is so Gray I have to wear shades Jez XXXXXXXXXXXX
PS have u noticed PM Gordon Brown has deployed the extreme gray stealth technology over himself[reply]Jezblog London @ November 26, 2009, 4:22 am
It makes it bloody hard to hail a cab though...........Are you speaking with a cockney accent yet? Stay safe Bro[reply]Paul S @ November 25, 2009, 3:10 pm
Cor Blimey Guv'nor........ Apples and Pairs..... (stairs)...... trouble and strife..... (wife).... aving a cuppa with me old China...... (plate) -mate....... avin a quick butchers (hook) -look........ wow no no no...... no that stuff is way way too confusing for me ........ no I'm basically remaining a Brummy Australian........ as u know I am a Brummy...... and as u maybe aware I have virtually no association what so ever with Australia..... and yet many many people i meet assume I am from there...... on hearing my accent? Hey I've 'no worries' with this 'mate'...... so that is my chosen identity linguistically.... yeaah Im a Brummy Australian..... living in New York City....... temporarily camping out in London...... till Ive finished these assignments...... :-))
Hope all is cool with u bro.......... Cheers Jez XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[reply]Jezblog London @ November 25, 2009, 6:20 pm
What's the recipe to such great pano beyond the excellent background you managed here? Really like these wild shots.[reply]Luis @ November 25, 2009, 7:53 pm
You already know it bro...... that is the secret really........ find a place where the background will work with light and reflections(best if its raining)..... then wait for a taxi to stray in...... preferably a lot of taxis so you get to practice your pan more than once...... hehehe....... :-))
