Actually not ;-) Recently, I did another experiment similar to my DIY square bokeh, but this time I cut out a thin slit instead of a square. Hence, the bokeh consists of stripes which results in a motion blur like effect. The only drawback of this method is that the slit has to be pretty thin in order to not see the stripes, but the smaller the slit the greater the amount of diffraction is. Thus, you loose a lot of sharpness when you cut out a very thin slit. Furthermore, a thinner slit gives a greater DOF which means that your background has to be far away to get the desired look. Anyway, I hope you like my little creative experiment ;-)
After taking some exposures of the Philly skyline from the South St. bridge - I came across Grace Tavern. This tavern is a small neighbor bar just off South St. Since my daughter watched the Eagles win Super Bowl LII here, I decided to snap off a few images.
While working out the exposure and focusing, I noticed two people walking toward the bar from my left. Quickly, I shot off an exposure. Although I don't typically try to capture people in my images, it seemed like an opportunity to catch a little motion. Luckily, it worked out - kind of funny that it looks like both have one leg.

Is it just me, or does it feel like Flickr has lost a lot of traffic over the last few months. I can't tell if there is a bug where comments show up weeks late or if its really just dying off?
A heron arcs through the air above rippling water, wings extended in a perfect sweep of symmetry. The feathers catch the muted light, each one a brushstroke of gray and bronze. Beneath it, the surface of the water shimmers with texture a mosaic of reflected sky and movement. The bird’s yellow legs trail behind like punctuation marks, crisp against the soft palette of the scene.
This image captures the essence of flight not as chaos, but as design. Every angle, every curve, every motion feels intentional. The heron’s body twists slightly, revealing the aerodynamic precision that defines its species a living blueprint of balance and grace. The background, rendered in subdued tones, isolates the subject so completely that the viewer can almost feel the air pressure beneath its wings.
The theme here is “Precision in Motion.” It’s about the mathematics of flight the way instinct becomes geometry, and grace becomes physics. The edit leans into realism with restrained contrast, allowing the natural hues to speak for themselves. It’s a study in control and freedom, a moment where nature’s engineering meets artistry.

Even though I was just scouting this view at the time, I could not leave here without taking a shot. I envisioned vertical orientation for this scene; however a horizontal composition would include more of the top of the falls. Therefore, I decided to attach my B&W 110 filter, and attempt a long exposure. My intention was to add a surreal effect to this daytime capture, by turning the waterfall into slow motion mist.

The continuity of lights at the back of ‘Maiden’s Tower’ derived from navigating ships, reminds me of the eternal motion of life. While acting in the theatre stage of our lives, whether we realise it or not, billions of happenings compose the background of that stage. All in motion….All for a reason…All extraordinary… Like this amazingly magical sunset…. BeNowMeHere, Istanbul, Turkey, 2016 via 500px bit.ly/1WnW2yC
Motion can be found everywhere. It's the nature's never ending restlessness. It's also a part of human nature. It's cold, there's no traffic and it's silent. But there is water, current and wind. Looking at the big picture from the outside a person can look strong, balanced and unaffected, but in reality there can be much more going on in this person's mind and it can be a lot more than we would fathom.
I converted the pictures of this series to black and white. But a few of them I processed in color, just out of curiosity.
Please find the articles about this photo shoot in the blog section of the website. You can also find a selection of pictures of the Inner Core Project and motion studies in the “new work” section of the website. www.chris-r-photography.net
These Paddle Borders are neither board, nor without motion. Instead, they move through the colours of Smuggler Cove with the grace of flight. Their slightly blurred motion illustrates both movement and direction, as they slowly proceed through a kaleidoscope of colour.
By no means at it's peek of vibrance, this area still surrounds its viewers with the visual delights of nature. And, without urban sounds, it is as quiet as this image suggests.
“Sometimes it is the quiet observer who sees the most.”

I really wasn't going to post this, as nothing is really in focus, but I decided I liked the sense of extreme motion of the wings. It is purely the result of a too slow shutter speed and what I think is some serious rolling shutter effect from the fully electronic silent shutter used in this shot.

Windmills in motion are a challenge I find hard to resist. It was raining the day I saw this one spinning in the breeze. I took a good few shots and only got a little bit wet, but I got the shot I was looking for.
This was shot for Macro Mondays theme 'Motion Blur', but I don't think I will use it - although it was fun to do and makes me laugh.
I have tried photographing real snails with a motion blur in the past without success so thought to use my little snail models. I do try very hard to not post totally silly snail pictures - but couldn't resist this one! Although I may give a real snail another go...
With apologies to the late, great Brian Wilson.
