This is a shot taken during the European Photoblogger's meetup in London in 2005 using the somewhat clichéd technique of zooming during a long exposure. I can't now identify any of these shadowy figures other than Brandon Stone, with his back to the camera in the foreground.
I've posted it now because I've probably processed it at least a dozen times over the last year or so, and while I've never managed to get it quite right (whatever that might mean) I do think it has something. So, to save myself from having to revisit it yet again, in the hope of doing a better job, I decided I might as well put it up :-)

Nice watercolor look to it. Like it. See what you find when you poke around in the past?

ahhh you see now your heading into my territory of random shots, a zoom motion blur image, usually the first project given by any course leader to any new photographer. So thats Brandon Stone eh!.... I might recognise him now ;-)..... fairwell Weekly Shot.... I'll miss looking through there. Difficult image to treat, somethings are best left untouched....... csj

Turneresque - very nice.

Somehow, I believe something is missing for me to truly adhere to the picture. But as you said, it has something. Maybe zooming on the head instead of the shoulder would have helped me ?

I like it. It has a nice look here - better than the usual zoom shot. You've done it justice.

Love it!

I have to say that I'm not a fan of abstract shots. I have nothing against yours in particular, but the style as a whole doesn't appeal to me. That being said, it's always worth experimenting and seeing what you find. And if you like it and enjoy then, then go for it :)
