Blog EntryPicture Perfect: MovementMar 6, '08 6:58 AM
for everyone
It was one evening in Iquitos, the largest city of Peruvian Amazon. The city can be reached only by boat - we did - or by airplane. On this picture is Casa de Fierro (Iron House), a large iron residence built during the rubber boom at the end of the XIX century. There was a bench where I could put my camera and used it as my "tripod". On the right side of Iron House is a traffic light. When I pushed the shutter, the red light was red but then my camera light was blinking, ready to capture the evening moment and suddenly some motorcyclists passed by. They gave a lifely movement to this picture, didn't they?

Olympus Mju 720, no flash, 6.7mm, 1/2, f/3.5, ISO 100

bukan sayah, kan soalnya yg satu (gw) ngawasin kamera, yg satu (suami) ngeliatin orang² disekeliling. ngeri ada yg mencurigakan. itu yg bergerak motor² krn pas kameranya ready to capture, eh lampu merah sut jadi ijo. jadi lewat dweh tuh motor². thanks to them, jadi "idup" fotonya.

danke ja!
