Weekly Challenge #520 - Motion Blur
Posted By: Hattifnatt, 12-16-2020, 03:52 AM

Welcome to Weekly Challenge #520 - MOTION BLUR

Thanks Kevin for an interesting challenge last week and to all who participated.

Since I want to experiment with this a little bit in the near future, I thought I might get some inspiration from you. Note that blur should be more the result of movement in some way and not just OOF, but you can also add that if you want. I will be especially looking for people as the subject, but if you don't have that I guess everything goes. Sharing a few words about the technique used is always appreciated.

The fine print:
Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

The Challenge will run until midnight next Wednesday, December 23, whichever time zone you are in.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Below are some examples which I liked browsing Flickr, now I'm waiting for yours. Good luck!

You are not making it easy with this challenge.
I had to considerably go back in time (more than 3 years), but I found one.

When there is not much light for normal images, motion blur is the subject for the night!
