Photo Short #18 - Panning Photo Of Busy Traffic In Bangkok, Thailand
I took today's Photo Short in Bangkok, Thailand. I was standing on the first few steps of a footbridge over Rama IV Road in the Khlong Toei area. The sun was setting, and it was that twilight time in the city that's so good for street photography; The half-hour or so that’s dark enough for all the lights to come on, but not completely dark.
| Location | Bangkok, Thailand |
| Camera | Nikon D300 |
| Lens | Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 |
| Settings | 18mm | ISO100 | 1/3 sec | f/10 |
| Post Processing | Adobe Lightroom And Photoshop | Nik Collection |
I wanted a panning blurred effect in this photo, so I set my exposure to make sure I had a slow shutter speed of one-third of a second. I began taking photos, picking out one particular vehicle and trying to follow it with my camera as I pressed the shutter button.
This is a hit and miss style of shooting, it’s difficult to get sharp focus on anything using this technique. For this shot I was trying to follow the motorbike and even though I missed the focus, there’s still something about this photo I like. It captured the moment and always reminds me what it was like to be there in this hectic city.

Want to have your post on the map too?
Nice long (brief) exposure shot. I think the negative space around the bike is what draws and hold your attention so well.
Thank you. If only it had been slightly farther back and in focus it would have been perfect. Oh well, maybe next time.
