A father picks up the yellow helmet dropped by his son in front of the Body Shop on Patrick’s Street, Cork last Saturday. I was sitting on one of the marble blocks that pass as street furniture on our main thoroughfare. I had my camera ready to shoot when I saw them passing and within a heartbeat had snapped off a few shots.
I like this: King Corner – great sky and architecture shot. All in your hands…. – keep on smiling!

I’ve got to get myself a 10mm lens. Angles are always great.
Love the tones in this shot, and it’s a good capture for the effect.

Thanks, I really love the lens, and believe it or not, this is a cropped shot, but still probably wider/taller than a kit lens.
How long was the exposure on that?
My particular problem is that I only have one hand. I haven’t figured out how to change my zoom while releaseing the shutter. 🙂 I imagine it’s easier with long exposures in that I don’t need to hold the camera… though timing the zoom would be much harder to ensure the effect exposed properly.
ABM – it’s actually a short exposure but I used the motion blur plugins to create the zoom effect! When I manage to do it in-camera it’s usually by accident when I was zoomed in and wanted to zoom out quickly but the bad light kept the shutter open..

Nice picture! You are able to caught the exact move of the father. Well, i guess your professional in using camera.
