This photo is right in my appreciation wheelhouse. It's a lovely example of how cameras & lenses can see things differently than we can. IMO photos that do this are more interesting & compelling than those that simply mimic our visual perception. Good job, Mr R.

Agreed. This picture shows us motion, and our minds easily fill in the rest. And besides, it's just lovely to look at.

Kinda OOF. Hahaha just kidding. This is great!

Very nice image!
Cheers,

Works greatly.
As I like to say and quote myself:
Sharpness is for rookies - real men blur!

Right! I was just going to write that it reminded me of Ernst Haas bullfight

Francisco, do you think this means we might both be photo junkies? Hey, let's, obviously, include Michael in there!

I don't see your picture??? Just got a new computer. Maybe my settings are off but I do see avatars. Suggestions?

It's Michael's cover shot to which we refer...

Another good example of how smaller formats can produce more interesting imagery than pixel perfect uber expensive dbacks. Congrats

How do you get back to the cover page from this forum page?

Tks.

Michael,
The more I look at this photo, the more drawn to it I become. Any chance of a print run?

Why, did you want to shoot it at a 1/5th of a second?
Just jokin' (not Just Jaeckin - that's another 60s hero of mine).

P.S. Just looked him up: all that wiki reveals is his film stuff; that wasn't what he used to be about at the time: he did great fashion in British Vogue.

It's part of an incredible series of impressionistic images taken recently at a a bull fight. But the last time I posted a bull fight image here, about 10 years ago, I received countless aggressive emails from the anti-bullfight crowd, and so I am likely not going to publish them here, or do an article, which I had considered, on how to do this type of shooting.
To many crazies out there.

Ps...Note to crazies. I personally hate bull fighting. But I find photographing them to be fascinating. I also recognize that it's an intrinsic part of Mexican culture, which neither I nor anyone from outside the country will likely ever change.

I like it! I wouldn't have thought "bull fight", I thought "polo" or "barrel race" at first. I take it that this is the picador.
-
I thought polo at first too, but the boots aren't right for polo. It's a beautiful image. Maybe you go shoot a series at a polo match to avoid the bullfight crazies.

Michael, if you have the images, then you may as well stand by them and produce. I hate the 'fights' too.(Fights? What fights? It's one dumb, cloak/cape-chasing poor sod of an animal against all the odds. The real fight would be man and bull and no cloak/cape decoy.) I've never been, and turn away when they appear on bar tv. Interestingly, many of the locals in the bars simply turn their backs to the screen too and enjoy another drink. I'm not sure, because it's a subject I hesitate to broach, what with being the inevitable estranjero and feeling I have no real right to criticise another host culture, but I think what's happening here isn't about morality but simply boredom with it all: seen one - you've seen 'em all. Strangely, the same logic fails to hold with crowd football-watching, which fills bars every time one of the big teams is active.
But obviously you know your public best, and I'm happy to go with that; just hate to miss nice pictures.

That's far too dangerous: you could fall in and drown, or freeze to death before you drown, which might be a small mercy of sorts.

My advice: Ignore the crazies!
