I took today's Photo Short in Bangkok, Thailand. I was standing on the first few steps of a footbridge over Rama IV Road in the Khlong Toei area. The sun was setting, and it was that twilight time in the city that's so good for street photography; The half-hour or so that’s dark enough for all the lights to come on, but not completely dark.
| Location | Bangkok, Thailand |
| Camera | Nikon D300 |
| Lens | Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 |
| Settings | 18mm | ISO100 | 1/3 sec | f/10 |
| Post Processing | Adobe Lightroom And Photoshop | Nik Collection |
I wanted a panning blurred effect in this photo, so I set my exposure to make sure I had a slow shutter speed of one-third of a second. I began taking photos, picking out one particular vehicle and trying to follow it with my camera as I pressed the shutter button.
This is a hit and miss style of shooting, it’s difficult to get sharp focus on anything using this technique. For this shot I was trying to follow the motorbike and even though I missed the focus, there’s still something about this photo I like. It captured the moment and always reminds me what it was like to be there in this hectic city.
