Young at Heart

: Young at Heart; Who says adults can't act like kids? Besides they never had cool toys like this when we were all kids so why shouldn't we hop on and take them for a ride? My 24 year old brother bought this a short while ago and everybody gave it a try... even my dad. This is one of my submissions for the July contest "A State of Being... Young".; Created by: Azkul.; Tools Used: Kodak Digital, PhotoShop; Created on: June 2004; Image Views: 1,953; Average Views per Day: 1.4; Image Number: 1026

Brian this is fantastic. I love the way you have used Photoshop to enhance the blur

Yes, I used Photoshop to enhance the feeling of speed. This wasn't meant to be a serious shot - where's your sense of imagination? Isn't that what digital photography is all about?

Photoshop fake. Th lenght of the pan to produce that amount of blur would also be evident in the bike do to the apparent change in length as it approaches the camera.

Digital art has its place but please, passing off photoshopped works as photos is detrimental to digital photography.

Enjoying your photos

Thanks for your comments. Yeah that's funny - I guess you could call it a pocket rocket. By the way, I blurred the background to make my dad look like he was going faster than he really was. Although, those little bikes can get going pretty fast.

Is this what you would call a "pocket rocket" :) Love the shot, and the motion effect.

A classic. I'll bet some editor or art director would love to use it.
