Here is a picture\u00a0I took in HCMC, Vietnam last year. My idea was to get a shot of the\u00a0resting guy in his rickshaw in the middle of the evening traffic but I managed to capture something completely different.<\/p>\n

I have chosen a slow shutter speed to get some subject motion blur in the shots to show the difference in between the rushing traffic and the resting guy who is watching it. I put my camera on burst shooting and what I managed to capture in this 3 seconds\u00a0was a young family crossing the street. They are already visible in the first frame (upper right) and they walk right into the middle of the frame in their process to cross the street.<\/p>\n

The young family is using a zebra crossing but in Vietnam a zebra crossing has no meaning at all. Some of the scooters passing right in front of them or right behind their backs. The scene shows the normal everyday madness in the streets of HCMC. The strange thing is that it seems to work. I have been to Vietnam a couple of times but I never witnessed an accident. It takes some courage to cross a road though.<\/p>\n
