I was very fortunate to be a guest at a What Digital Camera magazine workshop for the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 last Saturday. Here is one shot that came out quite well I think.
This was an experimental shot with the cooperation of the models (Mariana on the left and Sadie on the right) being directed:
The idea was for Mariana to be still and sharp while Sadie walked past in a motion blur. This was in a pedestrian underpass just off the beach in Brighton and the lighting was a mixture of old fluorescent tubes and some natural light from the entrance. Exposure was f/4.5 @1/10th second, ISO 200. Mariana was moving a little so she is very slightly blurred - not that obvious from a Web resolution version of the image here, although the wind has nicely blurred some of her hair. Finally, I added a fairly strong (40) post crop vignette in Lightroom 4.
Comments of any type (within reason!) welcome
