Motion Blur Photography Tips
MOTION BLURS IF SHOT WELL WILL HAVE A MESMERISING EFFECT ON THE VIEWER. INSTEAD OF SIMPLY STOPPING MOTION, WHY NOT ACCEPT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BREAK THE RULES? WHY SHOULDN’T A SUBJECT IN MOTION APPEAR TO BE MOVING? ONCE YOU ARE DONE STOPPING ALL MOTION IN IMAGES, YOU WILL OPEN UP A NEW BOOK IN PHOTOGRAPHY THAT YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED. THIS METHOD IS NOT ONLY USED IN SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY, THERE ARE VARIOUS SITUATIONS IN WHICH MOTION BLUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS USED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOTION BLUR AND A CAMERA SHAKE. MOTION BLUR IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE, WHICH CAPTURES MOVEMENT WITHIN A PHOTOGRAPH.

Upgrade Your Editing Suite

For this review, I am using the Nik Collection from Photoshop.
