More panning photos

I received an e-mail from Bob Fischer this morning with these 3 panning photos, and thought I’d share them straight away.

these three photos I have sent on panning are some of the best i’ve shot. the “Little russian Drama” is probably one of the most incredible photos I have ever taken. It’s truly a cartier-bresson “moment” photo. I was on a tour bus in st. petersburg on the way to the hermitage which I looked out the moving bus and shot this image. The narrative drama, complete with body language, the woman’s shoes pointing up, the man’s stance, is truly a Chekovian play in a single magic shot that I got off as I panned as the bus went by. how I ever had the skill and foresight to get it continues to confound me. I’m not good at panning but I’ve taken a few good ones, particularly the balinese funeral shot of two people who are speeding by on a motor scooter with the funeral center pieces in their hot little hands. the “funeral” photo is larger with more information but i couldn’t get it all on the scanner. the middle photo of the little boy and his mother was shot this last february in ubud, bali.

Nice work, Bob!
