Assignment 15: Motion Blur -- Congratulations Sean Setters

Here's my entry:
<p style="text-align: center;"]http://patrickdurham.net/img/lumiere.jpg
<p style="text-align: center;"]Canon EOS 500D, Sigma 24-70 EX DG Macro @ 24mm, f/25, 30s, ISO 800
<p style="text-align: center;"]
<p style="text-align: left;"]The shot is of a procession led by a police car, the weird effect of the blue line is because of the police car's lights turning around.

Ok, here's one from last year. Had just gotten my 70-200 F4L (non-IS) and was chasing the puppies around the back yard!

Great images so far!


Here's mine, an early one from my archive. The motion is from zooming the lens during exposure.

if you are tired of my bird shots, please, this is not a bird shot[:D]

Great shot! The scale in this photo is deceptive.....until I saw the seabirds I thought the rocks were much larger!


A lot of elements to this to kepp my eyes entertained.


Love it!

JJ Photo. Very Nice

I am so glad I don't have to judge this one!!! There are some really fantastic shots here! [Y]

This is my first post, but I've been a regular visitor to this site for a while and have learned a lot from everyone here.I think the assignments are a great idea and the current assignment has tempted me to join the community and share this picture of a lioness in the Masai Mara, Kenya, taken last September. I wanted to see how slow I could go with the shutter and still keep her eye sharp.

<p style="text-align: left;"]I often have problem to understand modern art. I tried to represent it in this picture, where somebody is passing quickly, somebody is watching carefully to the objects, trying to understand them or contemplating. Other stays in groups and one gives comments. I liked the man with the hand in his head,I think he express my thinking: boh? [:^)]

Didn't this close some time back? Shouldn't we be voting? Just askin'... [Y]

Whenever I get the word.

I think Dan is getting input from the judges to narrow down a list of finalists. I imagine he

Hoping we begin to vote soon and looking forward to another assignment.

**Small update**


Yesterday I contacted Freelanceshots about this and he already send me his list of favorites, so in theory we're good to go.


Unfortunately I had no time left to mail Dan Fleming, so I will do that now. Hopefully we'll hear back from him as soon as possible and hopefully he can make the poll himself.


Since the time-difference is present (it's almost 9 in the morning here and my college is about to start ;) ) it might take some time before the poll is online. Please be patient.


If Dan shouldn't be able to adjust the assignment for what reason possible, I will contact any of the other admins to do so. (starting with David [A])


Hopefully this update is of some use. You'll all be updated as soon as I know more.

Congratulations to the 5 finalists! May the best one win! [Y]

I'm flattered that the judges included my shot, which was my first ever post here at TDP. Just to clarify, though, I have never seen a tiger in the wild. My subject was a lioness.

Thanks for the comments on contrast and saturation, Dan. The photography "expert" on the safari hated any sort of post-processing, and I was ridiculed at the time for saying that I sometimes increase saturation, so I left the image alone apart from a crop. Maybe the lesson here is to trust my own instincts. Just remember, folks, you're voting for the motion blur not the post processing!

Congratulations to the other finalists too, they are all excellent shots in different ways. It's great to see the different interpretations of the theme.

I too am flattered to have a shot selected as a finalist. The shot of the boy (my son) in the swing has no PP other than a curves adjustment. The almost impressionistic blurred background, I believe, is the result of shooting at 17mm from such close range to the subject. I was not expecting such a cool effect when I took the shot.


Congrats to the other finalists too. Fun assignment.


Brian

Congrats to all finalists!
