DP Family theme day — a photo of a person from the waist down(like Bob’s)
I’m not sure when it started to be called “Bob shot” (not by me I’m sure) but ex-DP blogger Bob has a very unique style and so most DP bloggers know what it means when we refer to a photo as a Bob shot. I took this photo yesterday afternoon in Wanchai when, among the crowds mostly in black and blue pants, this beautiful blue skirt caught my attention . I was testing the panning effect of my camera (a recent discovery, I didn’t even know my camera has that function) and so had used a bit of panning on this one :-). Links: a white skirt and a yellow skirt by Bob; another of my previous “Bob shot” here.

Due to time zone differences and other factors, the theme photo may not be displayed until later. If you view after the date (also depends on the time zone) then you may probably find the theme photo in archives.

Love the swishy skirt and picking out that as the only colour is great, especially bright blue!
December 1st, 2006, at 6:58 pm #So pretty!
How did you make the picture black and white with the skirt so blue? Is this a function on the camera as well or a computer program?
December 1st, 2006, at 8:19 pm #Love both the movement and the colour. Your experiment worked!
December 1st, 2006, at 9:10 pm #You & FZ10 were perfectly perfect when you took this shot.
December 1st, 2006, at 9:36 pm #very nice lisi, the blue really captures your eye.
December 1st, 2006, at 11:45 pm #Great job! Love the treatment, it’s so effective. She looks like a walking mannequin!
December 2nd, 2006, at 12:54 am #Very hip, magazine-type shot! Not to mention the pretty subject…Are you our new Bob?
December 2nd, 2006, at 1:00 am #You’ve done it exactly like him. Well done.
December 2nd, 2006, at 2:00 am #very nice shot!
Great shot! I like it.
December 2nd, 2006, at 2:04 am #You’ve done exactly like him, even the title. Well done!
Lovely..did you use Picasso?
December 2nd, 2006, at 2:39 am #I love this shot. Wonderful blue, the whole feeling of the shot is delightful.
December 2nd, 2006, at 2:59 am #Wow! Really nice work. Both the shot and the editing.
December 2nd, 2006, at 3:38 am #Very bob-esque. I hope Bob sees our tribute. I’m sure he would be pleased with yours.
December 2nd, 2006, at 10:34 am #Nice picture. I have to get out and try this effect. I like the way Bob gets his shots without looking like he just cropped a person in half!
December 2nd, 2006, at 10:52 am #A fine use of the blue over the black & white. Great eye.
December 2nd, 2006, at 1:01 pm #i like the effect you have done for this photo. great!
December 2nd, 2006, at 3:17 pm #Midnite & Kris, panning is truly fun to play with
Stu, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw her glancing at me but she just rushed past…
isabella, I wish…
I used photoshop to get better definition of the blue skirt, my first time cos’ I don’t really know photoshop and thanks all for the compliments and have a great weekend!
December 2nd, 2006, at 11:44 pm #Lovely. Great that you found out more functions on your camera, too. Bob must be looking after you from somewhere.
December 3rd, 2006, at 4:08 am #Lovely, lovely image. So I love it!
