Sand Tumblers

[MrGreenBug]

Over the weekend, I was stuck at home due work and on when taking a break I take photos. Outside our home, next door.. there was this pile of sand and some kids where playing there. Here's my favorite shot (edited to blur the background and isolate the kid):


1000D + kit lens @ 55mm, f/5.6, 1/640 secs, ISO 400, Hand-held, No flash





It's really a quick and dirty edit. Here's my complete blog entry: Sand Tumblers and I also showed there the original photo before the edit. []


Thank you for viewing.

Great timing!

Great timing indeed! Those are some agile kids [:|]

Here's my favorite shot

Definitely the best from the selection [Y]

Then go re-do it when you have more time! [:P] This one is a little ghosty [A] But I must say that I like the idea. The background in the original distracts quite a bit and blurring it seems to me like a good idea.


Have fun,


Jan

I find it hard to stop the ghosting when using a gaussian blur as well. Any tips?


Nice shot Angelo - lets hope he made it the whole way round otherwise he's gonna have a sore head.

Yes, Jan they are very agile. I remember try doing it on the bed when
I was a kid but I always fall on my back flat. Wasn't able to try it
again ever since. I will definitely go another chance on the edit when I
get the time.

Hi Ben, thanks! He did made the full turn. The kid was kinda showing off when he saw me that I was about to take his photo. []


Just like Ben, I'm curious how to you minimize the ghosting effect? Got any tips?

Well, that's hard to say. I'm not a photoshop genius either, so I'm not sure if making this any better is possible, but I just think it should be. What method did you use?


I could give it a try if you want?

Hahaha.. I
