Hi, Michael. Congrats on your POTD!!Kathleen R. Struckle July 30, 2006
Awesome motion capture. Congrats on POTD!! #3101457Sharon C. Hinze August 02, 2006
Love this....after looking at the POTD again...I had to come by and find out how you did it. One more question...hand held or tripod? Set up or snapped? Guess that is too....anyway, super image, well worthy of POTD! Thanks in advance, S #3114770Michael J. Walters August 02, 2006
Thanks to all for the responses. Sharon, this was a handheld, not set up shot. I was working on my motion blur techniques on that afternoon. I was crossing the street behind this girl and simply held my camera at chest level and released the shutter. I had the lens set to auto focus and the mode set to aperature priority with f/22 to ensure max depth of field. I was quite suprised by the results.Michael #3114786
