Assignment 15: Motion Blur -- Congratulations Sean Setters
I think freelanceshots, our winner from Assignment 14, has said it best, so here are his words:
I was thinking of a contest where the submitted images would need to have some part of the image with motion blur and another part of the image in sharp focus. The way for people to do this is to use a slower shutter speed fast enough to capture the subject but blur other objects moving faster. Another example is using a tripod with really low shutter speeds but capture unmovable objects as still images. Another technique is to pan with an object and blur everything else not moving with the subject. Another example could be painting with light where you use a slow shutter and a flash on the second curtain and move a light source around to create text or shapes or even more.
Here is an example from my Flickr:

The Finalists
Sorry about this! Apparently lists of people were sent to me, and my email never delivered. Here are the finalists, poll is below

the child in the swing is really good because the background is so silky smooth and the child is in pretty good focus. Just overall very pleasing. Hopefully not heavily enhanced with the aid of the computer

Because its an original subject and artfully done

Sean Setters
Because it took effort above and beyond to get this shot and I like his color choice in WB to balance the color of the car and the background light plus the lighting setup in the car.

Alex Niedra
Because its just a cool, original image with unique shapes made by the waves. White balance was an interesting choice that added to the image presentation.

Andy Stringer
Because of the precision to capture a wild tiger with a fast enough shutter to capture the head but still blur the body to show movement.
a completely still image would be boring. Could use some contrast and saturation which would make it more eye popping.

Sorry about that! It works now. It only took me 75 tries...one would think that a CS degree would mean I know computers...sigh.

Re: Assignment 15: Motion Blur
Awesome photo, freelanceshots!! Would you mind posting your EXIF data for that example. Usually in flickr that is available but not on this one.
Thanks!

Re: Assignment 15: Motion Blur
Any fair makes for some interesting photos because of all the lights and action. Can't find the original photo to get the exif data. I believe it was shot with a 30D and maybe the 17-55 IS lens with a tripod. Shutter would have been slow like 1 sec and the f-stop maybe around f/8 with a low ISO.

Re: Assignment 15: Motion Blur
Great Assignment! I have a couple of other ideas, but I am not sure how much time I'll have between now and Dec 17, so as, hopefully, my initial entry:
Canon 7D, EFS 15-85, 15mm, 0.4 sec, f/10, ISO 100, CPL

Re: Assignment 15: Motion Blur
This was after the 4th of July fireworks display. I was stuck on top of a parking garage with traffic backed up trying to leave so I decide to take some pics of the downtown area. If you look a little below the center, you can see where a kid with a giant glow/light stick walked through the frame [:D]

Re: Assignment 15: Motion Blur
Here's my entry. One of those "revisited" images. It remained in my archives until I saw this post, at which point I decided to re-edit the original .CR2 file. One of my personal favorites. Enjoy.

Canon Xsi, 18-55mm lens @ 20mm, f/10, 1/40 sec. ISO 100
In retrospect the f/10 was a bad idea, but this was one of the first times I used panning.

Why do you say that? f/10 allowed you to use a pretty slow shutter speed (that provided a nice effect) at your lowest possible ISO setting. Any wider an aperture would have caused you to have to use a faster shutter speed - If this is what you wanted, ignore my post. In my opinion 1/40 sec. works nicely for your shot. Also, f/10 (on the Xsi) shouldn't affect your image quality due to diffraction.

Re: Assignment 15: Motion Blur
Cool photos everyone! I really enjoy motion blur/long exposures as it adds depth to the still images.
