Thank you Lee. If the program hand’t blurred the sign, I wouldn’t have had an issue either. But, the sign has relevance to the train station seen on the other side of the tracks from the sign through the lights of the train. Everything is tack sharp with my exported file from Lightroom.
Cheers, Rob

I like it! Since it is an abstract I don’t see the blurred sign as a problem,. If it was my shot I may have even cropped out the sign and gone with just that great light trail.

This is our antique violin, made in the 1800s. I shot this handheld in natural light coming in from a window on the right, panning the camera sideways. The colours and lines that resulted really surprised and delighted me. Did this with my Canon Powershot G16 f/2.8, 1s, ISO 80. https://www.flickr.com/photos/akmitchell/24218175802/in/dateposted-public/

I had to do this same technique for my local camera club and your article got me started, so thanks for that. I was looking for something with intense colors to shoot, these are both pictures of watercolor paintings I did and I love how it made them into abstracts. Hope you like them.
Street scene picture shot at ISO 100, f/11, 1/4 sec.
Other one is a botanical scene with a branch and some berries shot at ISO 100, f/10, 1/4 sec.
I moved the camera in different ways until I got something I liked. It took me about 200 shots!

There you go! So that’s a good lesson to take away from it though – some things if there is too much motion, or the exposure is too long – they literally just disappear. That is why you can do painting with light and get into the scene yourself, but not appear in the image.

You’re right, the second hand moves too fast, there is no motion blur, only the “afterglow” during exercise breaks.

But perhaps this corresponds better of the task – a pretty toy, which I had a lot of fun with buzzing around for a while in my flat.
