Challenge: Action Shot (Advanced Editing I*)
Camera: Sony DSC-F717
Location: Portland Oregon
Date: Jan 4, 2004
Aperture: F8.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Urban, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jan 4, 2004

Taken on the Eastside Esplanade along the Willamette River in Portland Oregon.

It was very cold, but nice and clear with lovely blue skies. I wasn't looking for an 'Action' shot specifically, but the esplanades on both sides of the river are popular for runners, walkers, bikers and skaters and even with the cold it was the same today. Lucky me!

I did this in both black & white and color and liked them both. I enjoy B&W photos more often than color so I went with that one for the challenge.

Nice compostition, works well with black and white. Seems a little under exposed--no detail in the bicycle rider.

A nice composition. The rider is clearly the main element, but the picture makes a nice scenic.

Overall image much too dark for my tastes but I like the converging lines and the romantic nature of the content.

Portland? Sure looks like it. Just a bit dark but nice study just the same. Good going.

I love the use of B&W in this shot. Isolated action subject is good.

A little dark. Adjusting contrast/light would make this a bit better IMHO.

I like the choice of black and white, it sets the mood very well. I get the feeling of action with the cycle moving, but there is also a feeling of calm as well. Sharpness and dof are good. Very atmospheric.
