A shot out of the crowd

[Malto]

Not sure if I got it good... wanted to point that couple out of the moving crowd.

Motomachi shopping mall, downtown Kobe.

Cheers! :D

would have liked a little more motion blur from the crowd and less from your subject but if this was a candid WOW AWSOME!,w as this handheld? good job btw!

Thanks! Actually it was a handheld candid shot, just the moment I spotted them, but I had my camera out ready for shooting the crowd :D it was a quite crowded day in Kobe, early December they have this Luminarie festival, where the city is all lit up to remind the victims of the Great Hanshin Earhquake. Next time, in a new thread, I'll post some pictures of Luminarie I shot that day.

I would have LOVED this shot if the subject were facing the camera.

Pretty awesome as it is, though.

I like it ! great shot, can you post data for aperture and time values ? I like the couple just in the center and people around moving.. I'd only try to set more sharpness in order to better 'fix' the couple ..

It's an excellent capture. The mix of sharp and blurred subjects conveys stop and go movement in that packed environment. Thanks for sharing, welcome to the forum!
