Gilera's GP800 is the world's biggest scooter. As an Italian vehicle, it goes without saying that it is superbly design. Also, this particular one has the colour scheme of the Italian flag: Il tricolore. The blur is tilt created and designed to try and give some sense of motion to a stationary object.

Forza Italia!

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Well composed and colourful. But I'm not sure the blur works for me the way you intended. Great entry overall, though.

Cheers,

I like the shallow dof used here.

800cc scooter? Wow. I'm pretty happy getting around on a 150cc.

Well, at least I tried.....

I'm glad that you liked it anyway.

While they can do it, these scooters are not designed for "getting around". They are for long cruises and canyon carving. Unfortunately, it's not mine.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Good one, Yakim, my friend! I like the blur although that is simply something artistic rather than it actually conveying movement. For it to convey movement you would probably have had to be much farther back so we could get some perspective on the entire object in relation to the background. Anyway, it's very well done!

Warm regards,

Endre

I wanted to do it but the background (my parking lot) was so ugly I just could not make it work.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

A nice entry Yakim, I like the colour, and the blur works well for me.

Best of luck!

I'll have to agree with Rich with the amount of blur, but I have to admit it continues to grow on me. Up that close, the angle suits the shot very well.
