Love it or hate it?


I have a kind of love versus hate relationship with blurred pictures. This late afternoon, I spend some time experimenting with slow shutterspeeds at a dike near Lelystad. The Markermeer is partly frozen at the moment. In the last light, it was almost dark, this couple of mallards came flying towards me. Every aspect of this picture (mallards and the immense ice plain) is blurred because of a combination of slow shutterspeed and focus-tracking. I don't know why but I like the result.


Cheers,

Dirk-Jan
