Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 25 June 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
Thanks everyone for your encouraging comment, a couple of wise ones from Ginnie and Don who have seen more of life than I have! B-) I shall look forward to "gaining a son." B-)
This 4th installment of the "Two Shall Become One" series is dedicated to a friend who just joined AM3 last week, the lovely and talented Mrs. Wendy Tsang. Unlike me who earns my living through Corporate America and still dreaming of becoming a "pro" [see story here], Wendy is a pro photographer. (When are you going to let me keep the D2X, Wen? Hahaha...LOL).
This one was taken several years ago during her wedding in Pinole, California. She was rushing out amongst the "papparazzi". No Photoshop motion blur here - it was old-fashion experimentation using manual blur-by-hand-zooming-out using a Nikon zoom lens that I purchased the same time as my first D-SLR, Nikon's D100. Photoshop was used only to convert to B&W.
As always, thanks for your visit - I'll surely come by yours shortly! Hope everyone had a marvelous weekend. Cheers...B-)
Wow, I love that effect!! Superb capture! I am a huge fan of your work! Keep them coming.......

Could not say it any better than those who have spoken before me. Absolutely love your work!
25 Jun 2007 5:27am
a truly fine composition
25 Jun 2007 6:19am
The blur adds extra special depth to the picture. Excellent highlight of the bride.
25 Jun 2007 6:34am
Thats great. The composition is pretty good, but the b/w and the blur make a 'pretty good' picture into a great one.
25 Jun 2007 6:44am
Wow. This is an oldie but a goodie. You caught the peak action and managed to show all the movement and life of the moment, all in one.
25 Jun 2007 7:03am
an excellent capture; you've got the technique spot-on here.
25 Jun 2007 7:11am
Thanks for taking my words to heart, H. Sometimes it's all a matter of perspective, right?! :)
I love your manual blur here. Well done.
25 Jun 2007 7:27am
The zoom effect you used here is wonderful! This is certainly one of my favorites!
25 Jun 2007 7:31am
Lovely image ... the bride shines in all this crowd ... excellent!
25 Jun 2007 7:32am
I really like this little "blur effekt". It gives a wonderful mood to this shot :)
25 Jun 2007 8:26am
The blur effect can make us a focus on the bride. Great.
25 Jun 2007 9:32am
Superb portrait, I particularly like the zoom effect! Great work!

Thanks for sharing this photo. I love this manual blur-by-hand effect and lighting :-) cheers
25 Jun 2007 2:56pm
yes i like it! There is alot going on, but still the bride sticks out, very beautiful! It's not even bad that she isn't totally crisp..like a on the go pic. super! thx for your comments on my blog! they are highly appreciated ;)!
25 Jun 2007 4:35pm
You gave the technique a good go, that is always a hard and hit and miss technique. Pretty good for your first go with your D100 at a motion zoom I think
25 Jun 2007 5:18pm
hey {H}-great "old fashioned" method well executed--first class--billy
25 Jun 2007 6:51pm
It looks like fireworks are going off in the background. Really cool looking shot. You can tell the the bride is very happy.
25 Jun 2007 7:05pm
Wow! this is another fantastic capture of a beautiful moment! :)
The beautiful bride in a sea of black suits and faces. Good image. Great effect.
25 Jun 2007 7:23pm
Another accolade here for your remarkable B&W series. The patterned background adds to the festive atmosphere.
26 Jun 2007 12:50am
Really nice effect that give importance to the beauty of the bride

Fantastic!
26 Jun 2007 4:44am
Zoom blur and flash are a great combination especially for event and party shots. The effect is even better when you have a wall of lights like you've got here. It all comes together - well done!
26 Jun 2007 6:50am
this is a funky effect (:

26 Jun 2007 1:15pm
Hey {H}, Whats up? Dude ive been busy too. Working day and night almost every single day, hardly have time to update and drop by ur p-blog. As for ur wedding photography, it is almost similar to what im doing. Im always behind the scene kinda guy. Capture candids and the behind the scences and just capturing random moments. I like the effect in this photo, it shows movements. The blur in the background removes the distractions in the background and leads the viewers eye towards her. Really good idea!
26 Jun 2007 1:48pm
All i can say is WOW !
26 Jun 2007 4:15pm
hi, great efect around subject, beutiful sense of motion, regards
26 Jun 2007 4:29pm
Very nicely done...like the motion effect.
26 Jun 2007 9:58pm
O ya, can you please email me the ori for this shot and the limo one?! I loved this shot a lot! Tks bro!
27 Jun 2007 1:18am
wow. 70 comments! You're luncky! Your picture is so beautiful! Love the lights and the moovement at the background. You are a great photographer
27 Jun 2007 5:14am
Excellent concept... all the positive energy of the wedding seems to revolve centripetally around the bride. Well done.
27 Jun 2007 4:16pm
love the shot. the motion blur is fantastic!
28 Jun 2007 4:37pm
I like the effect. But I wish the bride's face was a bit more sharp.
