Blur- Techniques post

Dictionary definition- Motion blur is the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, either due to rapid movement or long exposure.

Blur with light trails

I like this image because of the simplicity of the stick figures and the way they add a sense of idealism to the image.

Motion blur

I like this image as I feel that it conveys a sense of confusion and a loss of identity as the subjects face is blurred out.
