 1998 Buell S3T Thunderbolt taken on the water front of the oldest city in North America (St. John's, Newfoundland Canada).

This was a photo taken from the back of a pick up truck looking backwards at the motorcycle following us. The trick was the camera shake with the shutter open long enough to get the 'in motion' effect. Here in Newfoundland even newly paved roads have small ripples comtributing to camera shake.

I would have liked for the rider to be a little sharper, but almost impossible with the camera shake.

i'm sure you were trying to capture the effect of speed but really it looks more like an out of focus image if you could had gotten the bike sharper then i'd have given a higher score

Hmmm... Less than 10 years old - maybe that's an age in Motorcycle years. Too blurry and overprocessed for me.

hmm if 1998 is old...
the bike is blurry and youll prob pay for that. I really like the foreground blur and the shadow of the bike though

Haha.. it's really sad to think that 1998 is 'old'. Looks like this was shot from a car.. I think you could have captured a more interesting photo if you were on the street and could stage the shot.
