Thanks John Francis, Bob W., Dave S., Paul, Bob S., & Anthony. Comments
much appreciated. WRT the "motion differential": I think I just got lucky
and caught my nephew at a still moment of concentration as he tossed and
waited for the tennis racquet to drop, and as for the other kids--well, kids
constantly wiggle, and I think what we have here is "kids wiggle blur" :-).
I actually really like the tennis ball in the right corner too, Anthony. :-)
Anyway, thanks for the kind remarks. Cheers, Christine

There's an effect in this shot that I really like, and it has brought me
back several times for another viewing. I don't know if it has a name,
but
it's the 'motion differential' (should we call it 'depth of
movement'?)that
defines your main subject Akira, frozen in time, from the secondary
figures
that have varying degrees of motion blur. This shot is a prime example of
the phenomenon.
I also like the tonalities that make the figures 'pop', and the
composition
that seems to hang towards the left, towards where the line is moving.
The
lone, abandoned ball on the right is icing on the cake, without which the
empty space would be dead space.
Well captured.
Regards, Anthony

Subject: PESO Lightroom 2.1 Adjustment Brush
Hi Everyone:
Finally upgraded to Lightroom 2.1 and had an opportunity to try the new
adjustment brush. Akira's face was a bit too bright, so I burned in his
face a bit. It'll take a bit more practice to get skilled at using this
new
tool, but just wondered what you guys thought. Here's my nephew,
entertaining himself in line while he waits his turn to whack the tennis
ball.
Funny thing about his tennis lesson: back in 1974 I had my first tennis
lesson at Mcfetridge (a Chicago Park), which is where Akira here in this
photo is having his first tennis class. Makes ya think . . .
Some funky light on the courts. Had to shoot really high ISO. I was
surprised.
ISO 2000, long DA* lens, 103mm, 1/30 @ f4.5
