This is our member Joeyjoe367 sprinting to his next bunker.

Photographer : ME!

This is an unedited, completely raw photo from my camera

I LOVE this photo!

Being a photo-nut, i know how difficult it is to pan like that, and keep the subject in-focus while everything else is blurred.

It's my desktop right now

Nice Shot Joe I think I may crop it a bit, and put it up somewhere.

That's cool.

What field is that? It looks dark.

[Blazestorm]

Splat Attack up here in washington, it was the last game of the day... but what happens, is my camera... when you use flash... the exposure is changed so it only pics up what is close and bright, it doesn't take light in from everything, so it looks like everything is dark when it really isn't, but when I turn the flash off... it looks normal.

[Blazestorm]

up?

I wanna see other people's opinions

[spazzed]

Is that a ball in the air? Little orange blob near the corner of that white, bone looking thing.

[Blazestorm]

white bone looking thingy is a stick, and that ball is on the ground.

The flash makes everything close bright

[Koosh]

excuse me for not knowing a bunch aboot cameras, but what makes the picture so special? It just looks like a guy going up to a stick to me, but I don't know if I should be looking at something else...

[AssassN]

the background is blurred but the subject is not

[RetroEclipseMan]

Yeah that pic is pretty cool. I don't think i've seen many cameras that do that. It's wierd that it's up here cause i was looking for it on my computer and couldn't remeber where or what i saved it under. It's definately getting used for a project i gotta do for school.

Not bad for a 2-3 year old Olympus 1.3 megapixel eh?

[mag-hatter]

That was staged, this isn't

[digitard]

Very cool ... I take pics like that ALL THE TIME with my digital but I agree with you, it takes a LOT of toying with your camera to know it well enough to do that. Took me forever setting the flash/exposure/etc just right so I can focus on the main object without messing them up with the bumped exposure.

Good pic man ... congrats.

Sincerely,

I wasn't even TRYING! That's the sad part, I was holding the camera with one hand panning as he ran by... it was PURE luck. But still very cool
