Photography 101


slow shutter speed

This challenge closed 3 months ago.

The Challenge

we are looking for blur here, not blur caused by focus but by movement. The image should have it’s subject blurry because it moved while the shutter was open. However you should still be able to tell what it is

Judging / Voting Criteria

vote for the shot which you feel meets the criteria we have set the best.

Rewards & Prizes

as usual, the winner, nine runners up and two honorable mentions will be featured on the group’s home page. As well as that the winner will be invited to add the photo to the example page of fine photographs with slow shutter speeds

Additional Information

Often this can be a test of a steady hand, but sometimes the shutter will be open so long that a tripod may be required. For fans of time priority settings
