Challenge:Motion (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon EOS-D30 Location: From my loft balcony to my living room. LOL!!! Date: Dec 5, 2002 Aperture: f16 ISO: 1.5 seconds Shutter: 100 Galleries:Abstract, Still Life Date Uploaded: Dec 5, 2002
I like the subject chosen and the outcome as well!
I am not a photographer and so this is just a thought...
Wondering whether a horizontal motion would have been more natural? I tilted my laptop sideways and it looked (to me) quite interesting. The alternate title "Going Right?" seemed to fit too? Ofcourse, thats just me.
Outstanding and beautiful motion capture! I feel that any critique I might offer would be nit-picking. Please take the following ideas as my "thinking aloud" about your submission.
I like the long and narrow approach to cropping that you've used, but wonder if it might look more natural to show this as a horizontal composition (dart moving from left to right)? I mention this only because we think of darts being thrown at a target, not being dropped straight down from a balcony! Of course, if the dart were moving horizontally then we would expect to see a small amount of downward motion in the trail so maybe it wouldn't look natural as a horizontal composition? I also wonder if the composition would be improved with a bit more space between the tip of the dart and the edge of the frame?
I notice that you've listed the shutter speed as 1.5 seconds -- is this correct? I don't have experience with this type of photo, but it seems like the dart would be out of the frame in 1.5 seconds?
Anyway, great photograph and congratulations on your high placement in the challenge!

Commentary:
The idea here is wonderful. Exectution was great. One thing wrong with this picture that I can see and I do not know if it is my monitor or not, but I think I can see pixels. Other than that this is something i would hang on my wall. Good job.
