Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Time Capsule (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: Jerash, Jordan
Date: Aug 6, 2005
Aperture: f.13
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1.6
Galleries: Performance
Date Uploaded: Aug 7, 2005

 Chariot races were a popular pastime in ancient Gerasa (modern day Jerash) in Jordan. Attempted panning in poor light, came out as a rather ghostly, thrown into the past, image. Hope other people will see it the same way. USM, levels to bring out stronger red color.

I suppose its a difference in artistic style, but I would have liked to seen the chariot and driver a bit better, with less blur. A bit of blur would still have given it a "traveling through time" feel, if that's what you were going for, but made it easier to enjoy. 6

This should be in a frame hanging on an office wall somewhere ! Great Job 8

good, but too much motion blur effect. may be the guy more sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting effect! It seems as if you've intentionally panned beyond the typical freeze-subject pan...and to good effect! ( I recently tried this with carousel horses with so-so results.)
On the down side, the thick frame is not necessar and seems to detract from the delicate lines of the harnesses. It would be nice if there were more of the chariots in the frame as my eye keeps traveling right in hopes to see a bit more.
Overall, this appears to be a successful technique worth exploring further.

Cool shot. Had this been in black and white I would have scored it higher. Nicely done.

This is the type of style I like its different and one feels the excitement of the chariots thundering around the course 10

Surely those blinkers weren't in use until Trajan's triumph over the Dacians in 106 AD? ;) But seriously...excellent work. I have no idea how it was done and I don't care. Movement, action, timing, it's all there. 8 from me.

This is really cool. Love the blur and the border works great! Nice work. 9

This is a great movement shot. I like that you can still distinguish the horses. Nicely done. The colors are effective.

i like the idea, its great to think outside of the box now and then...

Had the chariot rider been in better focus I think this picture would have done really well.

excellent movement. top notch shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/10/2005 05:31:25 PM
Excellent shot! I reall like the motion. A little more of the chariot would have been nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/10/2005 05:26:02 PM
The way the motion blur works here makes the phot very special, timeless. One of two 10's in this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/10/2005 05:03:09 PM
it'd be better if a little less blurry, but good subject matter -- plus horse-drawn chariots are always cool
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/10/2005 04:20:17 PM
This would probably score higher in a "speed" challenge. Don't think people will understand what you are trying to say here. Good luck though, and it is a great shot!

Nice shot. I'd Prefred it B&W, but I guess the colours add it to it. 9

Blue - this is it - blue ribbon, no question!
Fantastic colour, movent and enough for the imagination to work with.

 08/10/2005 08:57:53 AM
this is really nice, but it needs to shift the frame a bit
