Cup of Tea

Thanks for all your comments on the last shot. Haven't posted a blurry for a month or so. We were at my sons school fete yesterday. I was just taking some lazy blur shots. It was the middle of the day but overcast and shutter as you can see was still pretty fast. I had the polarizer on which helped and decided to do some panning at the same time. I am pretty happy with the way this one turned out. Processing was very minimal just removing some dust spots, a sprinkle of sharpen and a mono conversion.

Makes me think of Alice in Wonderland.

nev: it was the girls head in right of frame that made me think the same thing.

This has worked really well Nev. Looks like your school fetes are more exciting than ours!

nev: Thanks Steve. It is a quite a big school. The problem was the kids having to queue for about 20 minutes to go on each ride and of course the drain to the pockets.

If you have nothing to do (still on premature pension?) go check 'cheapsuit'. He has two nice blurs, yesterday and today.

nev: thanks for dropping back and checking that the iron wasn't left on Louis. I did check Franks blog and he has a couple of nice ones there. thank you.
