XR-Pocalypse by Alex Stojan
This is an old shot I had of a Ford BA XR6 Turbo, taken at Docklands, Melbourne, Victoria. The photo was taken in the evening out of a moving vehicle, and although it turned out quite well I wanted to do something different with it. I decided to go nuts with Photomatix and Photoshop. Its a little different to my usual car shots but I like it. Shot with a Nikon D200, 28-70mm lens 28mm, 1/60 sec F/4.8, ISO 560, hand held while hanging out the window of a moving vehicle. Triple tone mapped in Photomatix, crop, levels, desaturation, noise, texture effects, sharpening etc in Photoshop.

Got da Makara Blues by KenWright
Shot at Makara Beach, west coast of lower North Island, New Zealand, I’d given up on this location and was walking back to the car, I’d been shooting past the point towards sunset, light conditions were harsh, not much water movement and no clouds, not my cup of tea at all. Looking back towards the point I noticed a series of stones that led towards the point, this was too good to be true, so here it is, made the journey worth while. Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm lens, with Cokin ND8 grad filter. / Jelly Bean Rumble at Dusk / Got da Makara Blues

Anna's Dizzy Whizzy by Andrew Davoll
My daughter allowed me six photographs before she became embarrassed and stopped the shoot. I attached camera to my bike helmet and pre-set the camera to fire on delay release. A bit hit and miss but managed this lovely picture. No wonder she was embarrassed! / Taken at Les Hoffman reserve in Dianella

Taken at Springbrook National Park at The Natural Bridge on the 5th of October, 2009.

Gravity by deepbluwater
…and weightlessness. I’ve been pondering these opposing yet complementary forces lately, looking at their effects on our minds, bodies and spirits while experimenting with capturing movement. I especially like the way the early evening half moon shines brightly through the figure in this one. Thank you for visiting… Featured in The Woman Photographer Featured in Beauty of the Human Body

About This Group
The world spins constantly every day. Movement is all around us, in shopping malls, out on the lake, in the sky, on the ground, and even in the water. Movement can be seen with the naked eye and other times not at all. It’s your job to capture this and show it with motion blur.
That being said, this group is dedicated to artistic photographic images showing movement with motion blur. Motion blur is the intentional use of shutter speed to blur movement. In such an image, any object moving with respect to the camera will look blurred or “smeared” along the direction of relative motion. Either the subject or the background can show the movement, meaning that the subject or the background must show motion blur.
Motion can be captured with various shutter speeds no matter how fast or slow a subject is. People, cars, light, water, whatever, as long as it shows movement with motion blur. Night, daytime, dusk, dawn, whenever.
Movement can also be created in Photoshop (or other image editing software) with its Motion Blur filter.
This group is not for depth of field blurs, out of focus shots or added vignettes. Only motion blurs.
If you have other kinds of blurs in your photo, check out A Beautiful Blur group!
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT:
- CAMERA SHAKE SHOTS – If the whole image is blurred due to unintentional camera shake, then you’ve missed the point. These are not motion blur and WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM.
- STOPPED MOTION – Or where the action is frozen in time. Even though these images may indicate movement, it is not with motion blur.
- SNAPSHOTS – You just happen to capture something move in a snap that you took. That’s not the point of this group.
No nudity or offensive work. Focus on the motion blur.
