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.

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. These are not motion blur and 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.
  3. 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.
