Wheelchair


As you may know, I travel quite a lot. Therefore, I spend too much time on airports. My camera is an essential companion in these trips. I spend a lot of time taking pictures between trips.
Sometimes I get some funny pictures. In this case, the motion blur was purposeful. I was learning on how to reduce the shutter speed in order to get this effect. You have to put your camera on shutter priority and follow the target. In this case, it was the wheelchair.
The effect is quite funny. It seems that the wheelchair is going super fast. It also serves the purpose of focusing on the object.
To do it in the camera (without photoshop or similar) the object has to be moving.
This picture also makes me wonder the number of moving objects in an airport. How many miles have these things gone through? How many people they carried? By how many people? The numbers involving airports are mindbogling.
As I said... I spend way too much time on airports...
This photo was taken with a digital SLR.
