Challenge:After the Game (Basic Editing III) Camera:Nikon D70 Location: Kitsilano Community Centre Ice Rink, Vancouver, BC Date: Oct 22, 2006 Aperture: F10 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1 second Date Uploaded: Oct 23, 2006
I've obviously been living in Canada long enough (4 years) to have been a bit brainwashed by the hockey culture here :) Zambonis are machines that clean the ice after a hockey game or skating session, by the way.
I figured there would be at least a couple of Zamboni entries so I wanted to try something different. Zambonis are also fairly slow so I thought it would be funny to see one that appeared to be speedy -- maybe a bit too much blur to be recognizable . . .
Thanks everyone for the feedback and votes!

Without the title, I don't think I would have been able to tell whether the blur was a Zamboni or a player. The picture would have been more successful for me had the Zamboni been recognizable. Also, the slight downward tilt to the left is a bit distracting to me.
I can't tell what the blurry thing is but it strikes me as a "person or player". Good motion blue shot aside from that. Usually a 7, DNMC=3, so I'll split the difference: 5
Cute and clever all rolled into one. :D Great idea for the challenge. Only thing I'd suggest is making sure you have your image level being posting up for the challenge. It's leaning left. Good luck.

Would have much preferred to actually see the zamboni.
