super shot. I love photos where some people are standing still and others are moving and blurred!

Thanks, Marsha. If I recall, you’ve got quite a few wonderful shots like this on Instagram (though I’m as behind on that platform as I am here, at the moment!) 😀

Most of mine have everything blurred..I like the 2 states of motion/no motion! But it is tricky…

Yup, definitely takes a lot of practice to develop that skill!

Love the effect Stacy, it was good that a couple of people stayed put so to anchor the scene and with the few that moved it gave just the right amount of blur. Parfait! 🙂

I like the feet where you can’t see a person, especially the turquoise tennis shoe. Check out https://breezesatdawn.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/blur/ who has a different take on blur…

Thanks, Lisa. Bet Kelly would like that turquoise shoe too 😉 And thanks for the link to Robin’s post. Very cool photo. I’m going to go back and visit and really look around!

Ooh, I like that. I haven’t done that exercise in awhile, i.e. setting a slow shutter speed and getting the whirls of people movement … probably because I am sans tripod these days. But I digress. I like the sense of motion in the picture. Good one.
LikeLike
Thanks for that! Though I have to say, I wasn’t using a tripod for this – which just might have exaggerated the movement a bit with blur from hand-holding. But it seems to have worked pretty well 🙂

Very nice. It appears as the woman moved to that spot but then you realize it is a different person moving in the background

Pure happenstance that the settings and the motion worked out in such a way to end up with this rather cool effect 🙂 Thanks, Luis!

Thinks do happen by chance, but I also believe the more you are able to see, the more chances you get.

Very haunting, Stacy, but a cool shot. They could almost be ghosts, or a shot of where the past and future collide.
