Ho Chi Minh Street Scene, Vietnam

Posted by Aidan Hammond (Seoul, South Korea) on 7 March 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

I stood on this corner for about 20 minutes, waiting for an interesting composition to happen. There were hundreds of motorcycles passing by every minute - HCMC (Saigon) is not a city for cars; the motorbikes rule the road. I held my camera above me head and waited for something to happen.
The motion blurring is 'natural' here - no real editing was done to this image apart from some cropping and slight blurring in the background
