A purposeful Blur
~There are lots of ways that you can take photos, but have you ever thought about moving the camera on purpose as you take a photo to create blur?
For example:
- take a selfie, keep your arms still and camera pointed at you, but spin around on the spot and watch the background blur
- Use a 'zoom burst' effect by zooming in when you take a photo on a longer shutter speed than normal
- twist/rotate your camera slightly as you take a photo to get a circular blur
- Push your camera away from you/pull your camera towards you as you take your photo
- Swing your camera at arms length, trying different shutter speeds to see the effect you get.
Below are a few examples
