 Am enjoying this side challenge and learning more about the 'art' of blur - it's not as easy as one might think.

Here I was tracking a single gull and was going to crop the second gull out but thought it would mess with the balance. I think I should try a faster shutter for a bit more definition?

And because I know salmiakki likes the theme tune this was shot in Balamory!

Now this is one for a very large print on the wall! The contrasts of color and light are wonderful. The flow and balance are excellent, and the birds are like angels.

Glossy, sheer and luscious! Lapis Lazuli-scape!

I like the stripes that the motion blur creates. Beautiful rich colors.

That's good horizontal blur. Cool blues and nice splash of red (from a boat I think). I think the shutter speed for this one was good. Good blur for the viewer to use their imagination.

Skimming the water in pure joy, lovely capture.

Thanks for that. ha. 7.00 am when I read your comments and now I'm destined to have that in my head for the whole day! Thanks Andrew!

I think it is more interesting with the second gull. Have an experiment and try the same exercise with a bunch of different (but still slow) shutter speeds. I think the outcome can be quite different.

I like it just the way it is. F@$% all the rules.
