Well, I am not a fan of the grainy suff, but the grain works really well here, I like this one !
 
Bertram2 : are you setting up your tripod or taking these "motion" images on the fly?
.

Yes, otherwise the necessary contrast of sharp and blurred would not come out well. It all shot with 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8.
The prob is that the intensity of blur depends on the distance. One has to have that in mind to get the intended result . I was still exercising, when I shot these.
 
Model337- I was across the street, so it was a little distance, but not too far. If I remember right, I shot it with 18-70 zoom set somewhere about 50mm. The one thing I do not like about the shot is the busy background. Maybe that adds to the flatness of the shot?

Todd, I really like both shots, especially that first one.

Bingley- I really like the color in that one. I almost wish the bicyclist was blurred though and off more to one edge of the frame. It would add a little dynamism to it.

Andersju, model337, bertram, nightfly -- Thanks for your comments!

@nightfly: I waited and waited, hoping a cyclist on a road bike would some speeding through, so I could try to catch a blur from speed... but no such luck that evening...
 
Wray -- LOL! I love that capture!
Thanks! I had gone downtown to get some lunch but my favorite Mediterranean café was closed so no falafels today! On the way back to my car I ran into a bunch of ladies with Irish wolfhounds. I just bent down and snapped this with my OM 2.

It's not Thursday and this is a digital pic, but it's on the street.

Well, I spent last weekend in Seville, at the start of "Semana Santa", or Holy Week. From a street photographer's point of view it was a "target rich environment" - here are my favourites.

Nice Bill. I really like the second last one. You've caught his motion well and it's interesting because of what he's carrying.
