PESO: Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

Near the center of Berlin is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, built in the late 1800s and devastated by bombing in 1944. The ruins are preserved as a memorial and a reminder of the folly of war; a new modernistic bell tower and sanctuary rise on either side. The crowds, light, and heavy

A while back someone said a good photographer always checks her knobs on her camera. Well, I didn't today. I took about 8 shots of some teenagers in Chinatown doing acrobatics--all timed well--but I didn't check my shutter speed--which unfortunately was too slow--I thought it was set faster.

You've made an enormous mistake. You've admitted this is the result of an error on your part. It is CLEARLY a carefully calculated artistic effect that you have taken years to perfect. Sheesh. Kids these days. (I like it, BTW. Motion blur is good as long as something is in focus. The

Almost works. That kind of shutter speed with some flash fill at trailing curtain shutter to give a partial stop to the action would make it perfect. But it's an interesting shot as shown. paul On Jul 26, 2008, at 9:46 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: A while back someone said a good photographer

This wasn't a mistake, it was the photographic gods way of helping to enrich the shot. Just imagine what this would have looked like with a shutter speed fast enough to freeze the action. A slightly blurred background with an upside down person frozen in time. This way is more dynamic
