Purc 217 In the spiral

It has been taken under the pyramid of Louvre museum, with a rotation of the camera during exposure. It gives me the feeling that all the visitors are sucked by the spiral...

Nice effect Fernand! It really does look like the people are sucked down, almost as if they are flushed. I think it´s a terrific shot!

A strong and original capture of thius Pyramid. You really got a very strong dynamics in this imaage. And as you indicate by your comment the center really sucks the people.

Fernand Hick Jef, je suis vraiment content que tu apprécies cette image dont j'aime beaucoup la dynamique. Encore merci pour tout...
Groetjes, Fernand

I'd like to know it too Fernand! I tried several times this kind of pictures but never been able to get sharp figures like in your shot!

Fernand, I love this one. How do you manage to get some of the people in almost perfect focus, while rotating the camera? I would like to learn that :)

Fernand Hick Ursula, it's a bit more complicate. There are two shots combined here, the first one is made with a camera rotation during exposure, and the second one is a sharp shot of the lift, to which I apply a rotation in PS with a layer mask, to rediscover locally some sharpness... You know all now...
Cheers, Fernand

Ursula I Abresch Thank you, Fernand! I was wondering how that could be done with one shot! Now I can try something like this better :)
