Hello JC (John Connor)

Well top marks for originality here, this is certainly unlike any other view I have seen of the famous Moscow landmarks. It works so expressively and yes, the digital age does make it so much easier to experiment and judge the results instantly.

I am always amazed when I speak to people taking shots at somewhere like the Grand Canyon and they say I took over 30 images, because I can easily take 30 images at just one spot and come away with say over 200! It costs nothing providing you do not run out of card space!

The light in the background caressing the buildings makes this clever and creative take all the more compelling and effective. Well done mate!

Of course with my bionic eye I see people travelling at this speed all the time!

Robo-slob.

Bonjour Jason,

C'est intιressant cette maniθre de voir les choses. Je voulais justement faire quelques photos semblables dans le thθme scθnes de rues. Trθs bonne idιe, mκme si les gens passent trθs prθs.

Amicalement

Serge

You made it with a different approach to thsi view, Jason - the many people passing in a hurry added much of motion to the scen. personally, I'd prefer the "regular" scenery of the known golden turrets - but not arguing about personal taste. The BG seems in great clarity.
Regards,
Ike

Hello Jason,
No matter how much we may appreciate the qualities of old time films: they were expensive, and after 36 shots you had to reload the camera, or grab another camera to continue striving for that perfect shot. Now you can just play around until you get what you want. It's just a matter of patience.
And yes, you need talent too, to see the picture before you have it, and luck, to get people exactly in the right spots. This is a superb shot from a busy street in a big city, but seeing that famous background we realize this is not just any big city. That view is truly iconic. And I love the shapes of the clouds, and the colors of the light after the rain.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Jason,
nice the snapshot with the natives that are passing by in front of your lens to are in movement,blurred.The sunset colours on the backdrop of the image as falling on the famous buildings of the capital make the image even more effective.

Regards,Danos

Hello Jason
The busy rush of our modern society rushes past the old and serene buildings, so full of history, of Moscow. This is a great metaphor to describe our busy lives today.
have a great time

Hi Jason
well, good on ya to try something different and out of the box sort of speak.

Thats something i need to try more often.

and yeah, could you image going on trips in todays world without digital cameras!!! Yikes!
How did people do it in the past?
Gotta love that instant gratification of digital.

in a wierd way, do you know what is the most important aspect of this scene - at least in my eyes?

Its the sneaker/foot thats planted squarely on the ground on the right. with all the intentional blurring, that sharply focused foot on the ground totally stands out and catches my attention - its cool!

its also so well placed inbetween the legs and bodies of others passing by.
the buildings in the bg are sweet too, i have to admit!

excellent post my friend!

NHL is starting tomorrow! can't wait! I'll be watching at least 2 or 3 games on TV :)
Its a HUGE deal up here in Canada.
I know you like baseball and football, do you like hockey?

take it easy

Zdravstvuj, Jason,
Oh, I like it. This is a typical journalist photo and I have often see similar pictures in the magazines. Excellent realisation of so interesting idea.
Best wishes,
Serghei

Hi again,

I know the place :). It is on the bridge going to the newly rebuilt St. Saviour Church. The view from there is really great. I have the photos from there but not so creative. Interesting idea. The motion well shown. An in this moment even the weather was not bad.
Warm regards MAlgo

Pivet cher ami Jason

Great imaginative idea to add shadows or ghost at the so beautiful and well known Mosku buildings, that way you obtained them and also your own contribution at the list of photos of the place, cheers for it

Besides the weather and light at this moment is good, making a shinning contrast with the dark silhouettes of people
Interesting note, still I can see some puddles, patience, time and solitude are the key for a productive photo seance ( or session?)

Lets wait you post some of the good photos from your phone

Good title also
