These first examples might not be super creative, but they are painterly and colorful and
YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!!
So: do not hold you camera still and/or do not shoot resting objects, move your camera, move your body, shoot moving subjects, use longer exposures
PAINT WITH YOU BLUR GUN!!!
-
Frank, given that you are a professional photographer, I am surprised to see dust spots on your images.
Further, your images are not that bad at all, I like them blurry.
-
Dust bunnies? Reallly. Did I miss one? You honor me by watching my pics more closeley than I do.
;-)
I am currently sarching for a picture expressing "way" as an abstract.
In German "Weg" is contained in "unterwegs" and "bewegt" and I try to play with motion...
-
Really like the ones with bikes
-
Very nice series Frank! - I especially like #6 (schnell fortbewegen). You should definitely dust off your gear ;)
-
Frank, you started yet another interesting thread, and that at such a high level! Worth challenging!
For this kind of motion blur shot in a daytime, one has to stop down the lenses quite a bit. That's why the dust bunnies are prone to be revealed well... Not as much as the pinhole, though. :D
-
I have many pictures of "movement" but this one is special.
-
Oh, yeah, that's my favorite, Paco!!!
-
So you do remember it! I´m sure I posted it shortly after taken it.
Thanks Akira!
This one is from the last weekend. Panning is a hard thing to do. For this one I tried some extra slow speed. Under the bridge. Guadalquivir river, Sevilla
-
OK, I'm confused. Frank do you actually want blur by moving the camera? I have tons of object blur from shooting at too slow speed
1/100
(https://images.nikonians.org/galleries/data/500/medium/D50_8309.jpg)
and I practice panning almost every time I am waiting on my wife or son (bored) .
Paco, I find panning bicycles much harder than faster objects, I like that one. I find people walking the hardest to time. I have started experimenting with reverse panning which might meet Frank's criteria ;) Fun abstracts but often hard to identify what I was shooting... lol
Tom
-
Thanks Tom,
I fully agree about the panning of slower subjects. That same day I tried with walking and running people, electric personal devices and what not with various degrees of success.
I also think Frank has keep the theme and what he wants open to interpretation on purpose but he can confirm better himself, Frank?
Reverse panning is a interesting concept... :)
-
Wonderful contributions.

"Sweep panorama" using a super-wideangle pinhole on D750. The "compressed" horizontal AOV is roughly 120 degree. No stitching, of course!
-
Paco, so far working with the Nikons and MF lenses with zone focus. AF doesn't work well for reverse panning and have always found panning with mirrorless harder(EVF). Some good, but not great, results with EM1. Panning fast Soccer players with AF can work but , again, mixed bag when trying to catch them at closer ranges with the D3S, 70-200 2.8. I cannot even imagine the cost of playing around this way with film :(
Akira, like finding shapes in clouds ;)
-
Yes. OPEN is the word. All excellent examples. Paco. I remember the shot. Loved it from the first time I saw it. Superb. All others: comments later. Daughter calling!
-
Lovely motion pictures. Herewith, my little contribution:
-
I won one of the hardest photo contests on this planet with one of my "inverse panning" shots taken from a car going at 120 km/h:

Frank, the linked image is of wind generators. Please direct to the "inverse panning" image.

Oh, motion pictures, I like them! :) Especially Paco's dancer, that is just fantastic.
Here are my contributions:

Frank, the linked image is of wind generators. Please direct to the "inverse panning" image.
I took the picture out of a window of a car going at 120 km/h. So the windmills stood still and I was moving (which I could not help, see discussion under picture).
"standard panning" means that something is moving and I follow,
"inverse pannning" means that I am moving and something is standing still, so I compensate my movement by moving the camera.
-
Another one...
Phantastic in its "Japanese!" location definition & superb composition!

Frank, I'm totally pleasantly deceived and floored! Thanks for your kind comment on my image.

The camera moves itself.

Jack, cool idea and works well. I really like it. Next time I am bored with airports :)
This was anything but Slow Motion , a teenager eating his favourite Brazilian dish ... a7rii with Voigtlander 35 1.7 , 1/15 handheld, mixed lighting in dark garden restaurant
Well Frank, I'm obviously not a Food shooter...lol
Edit: Thanks Frank, actually Beef Chimichurri but the owner swears it is the Brazilian recipe and not the Argentinian ;D . Stupid candle only had white flame >:(
-
Tom: I really like this. Looks like Beef in Honey marinade. I can understand that your teenager likes this. I got a 15 year old who loves to eat his meat and leave the rest on the plate. I feel the WB point you chose it a very good one for food in this moody atmosphere!
-
Jack: I love airport shot for the low vantage point. Really something worth looking into more. I remember similar shots I did with trains when I was bored in the morning waiting for mine. Currently I do not use train stations much. I walk and ride my bike and very rarely use a car.

Frank, did you know that I like to gamble :)

Jack Dahlgren, that is a wonderful idea wonderfully executed!

Akira,
Very nice how the foot stays still in the road.
-
Simone: Which kind of caves you have been to?
Man-dug tunnel in a late 18th Century (disused) lead mine, which eventually entered an natural cave.
It is called Speedwell Cave and it is in the Peak District near Castleton.
My 4-year old daughter has enjoyed the place, said she wants to visit more caves. :)

That's an unusual perspective. Very nice. The special colours and structures make it something unique.
-
Thank you John. The perspective comes from a special dance class with blue linoleum (not great for dancing) and a second floor connected through a opening in the ceiling.
-
The contrasting red and blue colors really look great, Paco!

Totally agree!
Jakov, well blurred! :D
-
Totally agree!
Jakov, well blurred! :D
Thanks, Akira! Perhaps I should have posted it in the unsharp thread :)
-
Thank you
Jalov, I think better here. The theme itself gives an extra dimenssion to the image putting the viewers in a frame of mind. I see the butterfly's motion :)
-
Speed is relative. Super-fast people.

Paco's excellent motion blur reminded me of this one shot eight years ago using a pinhole on Panasonic G1.
-
Somehow, I hadn't noticed this topic before today. Boy am I glad as you all have shown some terrific interpretations of the theme.
-
Motion quite close!

Hi Mike, "Motion Quite Close" indeed. And you were not the only photographer trying to capture the motion. Also good to see you posting again, especially for this interesting thread.
Down here in OZ, I am pleased to see that at least the Brits / Europeans / Asians are still pushing on with developing railway systems and high speed trains. Given their love of all things coal, I have no doubt that one or other or our major political masters/parties down here will mandate a return to bloody steam strains! Idiots! End of rant (well for now anyway).
-
Thanks Hugh, I tend to lurk these days and only post sporadically!
That said I generally take a look at Nikongear on a daily basis. ;D
And yes the almost ubiquitous phone/camera!
-
I see ghosts!
Then ghosts they are ;D
Very interesting results with the pinhole Akira. You got me curious...
-

Thanks, Paco. The shutter speed was 0.8 sec., and it was handheld. :)
What is good about the mirrorless camera is that the pinhole "lens" becomes around two stop faster than on a DSLR thanks to the fact that its flange back is about the half. Also, thanks to the live view on EVF, you can see the finder image to control the framing, so long as you shoot during the daytime.

Paco, congrats! I really like it, it is IMO a superb image

Thank you guys. Sorry for the delay. I thought I already comment on this. Maybe I didn´t hit the "post" at the end ::) This image may become the one used to present the show.

Paco, Olga in the Sky is a really good image. When I try for that kind of blur it seems my shutter speeds are either too slow or to high. Classical Indian Dance is mostly very slow with some sudden bursts of speed. Unfortunately Goa does not have enough to learn to anticipate :( . Very well done.
Tom
-
I remember clearly from a show I went to see in India around 2005. Truly fascinating. Very, very complicated moves and rhythm. Virtuoso. None of that helps with anticipation for sure but what a show!
Thanks a lot for the appreciation

Whilst seeking an example for Tom's point above, I found this.
No blur, but this is an action shot with only the runner's shadow as evidence.

Not enough round here either Tom, but here's some I attempted a few years ago.
Not in the same league as Olga above, but I was pleased with what a D300 could manage.

Thanks for sharing it.

Dancer in action at the rehearsal. Looking for the shutter speed to balance sharpness and movement blur.

A sudden motion adds many years to this dancer, for a fraction of a second. Caught conjuring the elderly.

Sorry I've only just noticed this Armando, but I like it a lot.
I think you've used the strobe in a balanced way & the overall result is pleasing. I expect the young dancer learned a bit from seeing the results too :)
Lars, I can see the swirl in the branches of your shot
Very appropriate for today in the UK as there have been high, blustery winds

Fascinating Frank - the third image especially catches my eye
Really interesting to read your explanation too. I have a Shiatsu and Qigong teacher who's originally from Germany. He uses something that sounds very similar to contact improvisation in some of his workshops. I found it amazing.

The above images are just transfers from the camera. I did start to play with the RAW files to see what is in these and gosh there is a lot. So I will edit away until I find a satisfactory visual story to tell. Two first trils attached
