Artistic Motion - Photography

About This Group

This group is dedicated to artistic and creative photographic images showing movement over time with motion blur. Motion blur is the intentional use of a slow shutter speed to blur movement, capturing a sequence of time. Any object moving with respect to the camera will look blurred or “smeared” along the direction of relative motion, but we are interested only in ARTISTIC MOTION, not everything that moves.

Motion can be captured with various shutter speeds no matter how fast or slow a subject is, just as long as the shutter can open up long enough to capture a sequence of time.

This group is for real time-based motion blurs. NOT depth of field blurs, out of focus shots or added vignettes.

SUBMIT THE BEST WORK – PHOTOGRAPHY ONLY! No snapshots. Not all photos will be accepted just because it has some motion blur in it. The image must be excellent & artistic photographic quality and follow standard practices of photography.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT:

1. CAMERA SHAKE SHOTS – If the whole image is blurred due to unintentional camera shake, then you’ve missed the point. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM.
2. STOPPED MOTION – Or where the action is frozen in time. Even though these images may indicate movement, it is not with motion blur or time based capture.
3. SNAPSHOTS – You just happen to capture something move in a snap that you took. That’s not the point of this group.
4. LONG EXPOSURE SHOTS without any motion blur.

No nudity or offensive work. Focus on the motion blur.

HOSTS WORD IS FINAL.
