The blue shutters are tack sharp. The speeding motorbike appears to be stopped in its tracks, but is not clearly defined. Even though I use a shutter speed of 1/400th of second here, which is very fast, it is not fast enough to completely freeze the machine and its riders all of their detail. And it is that little touch of blur here that gives the image its vitality – the machine seems to quiver in place – the profile of its driver vibrates with energy, in striking contrast to the crisply defined detail in the shutters behind him. Many photographers would scrap such an image because they wanted to “stop” the bike with clarity. I would urge them to reconsider their decision, and look at its blur as an expression of vibration and motion. And that is what motorbikes are all about.
