Fleeting Beauty by whalegeek
Jack Frost has been hard at work in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, creating a fiery vivid tableau in this abstract. Soon autumnal beauty will be yet another memory as Winter tightens her grasp on the northern wooded lake lands. The leaf colors are as they appeared in nature, with no enhancement other than slight lightening of the image. Leaves were selected from sugar and red maples as well as from birch, aspen and other hardwood trees found in the forest near our cabin. I spent hours having fun playing with and rearranging the leaves. A very slow shutter speed was achieved with the help of a polarizer and a neutral density filter. This allowed me to create diffuse spirals suggestive of an autumn leaf carried on the north wind toward its final resting place, its brief foray into fall brilliance soon to morph into the drab brown of decay. Canon 40D, Canon 10-22mm lens, shutter 5”, f/16.0, focal length 18mm, ISO 100, handheld camera with twirling action provided by me, polarizer, neutral density filter, patio table, fall leaves. Rhinelander, Wisconsin, USA. September 23, 2009.

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

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.
