"Sì, buon" ?!?! Are you learning the italian language? Better, the neapolitan slang?

Btw, nice application of the 'panning' technique (I hope it has the same meaning in english: taking a picture while moving the camera to run after the subject)

Ash,
I like what you've done with the panning. I'm not sure excactly what you did, but it appears to have worked. Her face looks almost still, while different parts are in varying states of movement. The framing is GREAT.
One thing I cannot make out or explain is the "flame" above her head? It looks way cool.

Thanks guys.

Yeah the panning: I didn't deliberately pan as such, but I was tracking her as she moved, in the second or so when I lined up the shot, so in that sense the panning was inevitable. I was shooting in aperture priority mode late on a cloudy day and the camera presumably chose a slowish shutter speed to get in enough light. By fortunate accident the shutter speed happened to be enough to get her face fairly sharp while leaving the background and the rest of her body blurred. I love the effect but can't claim to have exactly planned it; I don't even know what shutter speed the camera chose but I expect it was about 1/10s or 1/20s or something like that. On a sunny day the pic would have been perfectly sharp, and all the more boring for it.

The flame: hell yeah what is that? I hadn't even noticed the stuff above her head, but I did notice the whisps behind her hair to the right. At first I assumed it was scratches on the neg but after trying to clone it away I decided it was perhaps a genuine part of the image. Kinda fortunate in a way since it outlines her head.

I feel as if I needed this today... Very nice. I almost feel as if this is just one moment in that girl's life, but one perhaps that shows how she may LIVE her life.

Thanks ;')
