Carreiros do Monte
This image shows the traditional Carreiros do Monte in Funchal, Madeira—a thrilling ride in wicker sleds guided by two runners down the steep streets of Monte. Once a means of local transport, it’s now a unique cultural attraction. The carreiros wear traditional white outfits and straw hats, steering the sleds with precision using their feet.
The motion blur was created using a shutter speed of 1/30 second with a panning technique—tracking the sled while photographing—to keep the subjects sharp and the background blurred, highlighting the speed and movement of this iconic Madeiran experience.
