Summer fun

I tried to capture motion in this picture by panning my camera as I took the shot. The picture is transformed into B&W by using the green channel of the RGB data. This brightened the (green) background and darkened the red shirt to get the focus to the child. I increased the contrast to give the picture more "character". Sort of an experiment, hope you like it.

Canon AV-1, 135mm, color negative film

    Wonderful shot,The way you have worked on it reminds of the old days when things were so much more basic and a lot less pressure on life like there is today.

    I like it a lot. Your experiment make it look like an old picture taken many years ago. And I like the expression of the girl how she enjoy the ride. Very well done Robert.

    Yes, Robert, your experiment gave a very good result! Some "channelwork" can be really interesting, but the most important of course is a good picture, and that you have. Really fine with the background in motion and the focus on the child!
