Assignment: PCA125 – Intentional Blurs
Dates: OCT3-OCT17 2010
Image Tag: pca125
From: Fastball95 (Steve)
Mission from Fastball95:
Attempt to create an artistically appealing image using one of the many ways to create an intentional Blur.
This technique is gaining popularity in the Landscape and Nature Photo world rapidly. Look around at various print pieces for book covers, magazines and print ads, You will see less detail and more blur.
So the concept here is to attempt (knowing this is not easy, the attempt is the key in learning this process) an intentionally blurred photograph.
The preference here is NOT to create the blur in software.
Be aware of composition here, use the lines and motion as well as the changes in color since nothing is going to be in focus.
What it Took
Happy to be back participating in PCA!
I knew for this one that I wanted to do something in nature, and something with water; a natural motion blur. Was hoping that the fall foliage at Loch Raven Reservoir would be a good place to capture some nice blurry reflections from the waves and wind. We went yesterday, but the leaves are not there yet, and the pics were really "meh". Today Ant suggested we go to Gunpowder Falls State Park, and I'm so glad he did. We went in the morning and went one direction, and went back in the afternoon and went the other way. The trees to the south were just glorious, and there were ample places along the river where the foliage was bright, and reflecting nicely in the moving river. This shot is from the afternoon shoot.
The technical aspects of the shot include finding a place in the river where the trees, rocks, and sky were brightly reflected, and the river was moving enough to create a blur, but not so much that it would completely distort the objects to make them totally abstract. Was shooting for more of an "Impressionism" feel. To complete the process the pic was cropped to square and turned 180 degrees to make the trees "right-side-up", and use of the "auto enhance" preset in Aperture 3 (which generally pushes vibrancy by .2 and does some edge sharpen).
If you have time, please view in the lightbox. Makes the colors really pop.

Las luces de Navidad se han convertido en accesorios fundamentales de toda decoración navideña. Las mismas pueden ser encontradas en la calle, en hogares, puertas, techos y árboles navideños, pueden parpadear o destellar de manera intermitente.
I know some of you don't like these shots, but I have to try everything!!! If I know it can be done (with a camera) I want to give it a go!!!

It's Friday! I'm really glad that this semester i don't have 8"clock classes. It was a pain to wake up last semester. Seem like everywhere i go its about the Chinese new year and just like everywhere else I will be attending the local festival they put on every year.
I attempted to make some Photoshop Actions based on my processing..but realized i dont know how XD i need some read some tutorials. >>;
Well have a great Friday! and wonderful weekend!
visiting you stream soon..very soon^^

I spent a lunch break experimenting with out of focus photography in the Tate Modern today. I like the abstract nature of it, and the environment in the galleries makes for some interesting black and white shots.
practice with water blur, didn't have a tripod though.
it rained all day today, and my basement flooded :P

Do you ever feel like you are moving through life in a blur?
This was an intentional, walk-by blurring. :)
My first foray into a bit of abstract...
Taken on the 401 Hwy passing through Scarborough, Toronto with the sun just over the horizon and the glow of city lights.
Figured I title this with a little pun for the recent lawsuit against the song "Blurred Lines".
This was the alternative pair of boots Jenny wore to show artistic blur for my weekly photo themed challenge of the same name.
When she dances in these boots - it is hypnotic!
She calls them her stripper boots!
sometimes in life we have to decide:
shall we proceed with our life just as it is? everything is fine, you're happy most of the time but still sometimes you have the feeling to miss something.
or shall we turn our life upside down? you don't know what will happen it could go completely wrong and you will be unhappy or you could make new experience and reach a level of happiness you didn't even know is possible or at least can't remember.
But if you only think about it and never do someting, you actually decide for the first alternative. But is that the right decision?
I tried slowing my shutter speed to 1/40 sec to get this blur effect. I literally took a hundred shots to get this one. It's unpredictable which riders are blurred and which are sharp. I guess that's the beauty of digital, you can always delete.
It has all been a blur lately, with Mom and Dad both ill. Mom DID come home from the hospital late yesterday. THANK GOODNESS! And thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. She is on the mend though it is going to be slow. One big hurdle among many is that she also has a ruptured eardrum and suddenly cannot hear! What a mess- makes it hard for everybody. Dad is getting some better, too, with meds for bronchitis, but I know he is worn out like the rest of us. Hospital time for everybody is just stressful.
I hope to be back at it out here soon, visiting all the wonderful photostreams I have been missing! So don't give up on me!
This shot is for the Jules' Photo Challenge Group- selfies. I am behind for the start, but going to try to jump in for the last few days as time will allow. :)
After a day out drinking with friends in Faversham, I decided to take a snap of trains under the lovely station roof on the South Eastern side of Victoria station upon my return to London.
The class 375 formation I had arrived on sits in platform 5, on the left a slow shutter speed captures the slightly ghostly blurred images of passengers who have alighted from a class 465 'Networker' train which has arrived in platform 3.
Well I think it was the slow shutter speed that caused the blurriness, and not the beer I had supped during the day!
