Here's what I'm not submitting to the challenge. I like it but I know it will do poorly here and I don't feel like competing for last place with all of you. :) |

thanks John. I think it might have done well but I like it enough to not want to see it under 5 so I'm staying out it.
Panning on people is a lot harder than panning on vehicles, especially when they are running around in a circle waving weapons.

I wish I had submitted it instead of mine. I know it's soon, but
I think I've got last place wrapped up! Sorry, guys. Now if I'd just get some helpful comments, I'd learn something from this humiliation.
Very colorful and interesting image, Jason. I like it. |

Awww...Jason! What did you go and do that for. That wasn't a bad shot.
The way my score looks I am heading for last place. But I knew it.

so while my real entry sort of tanks in the voting (4.5077 with 65 votes and 2 comments...down from my all time high of 8.000 with 1 vote and 1 comment; bless your heart, early voter!!) i thought i'd post my favorite motion blur photo (taken, of course well before the challenge...
taken in the paris metro (place de la concorde) which is tiled with these letters. there are words in there like a word-find puzzle but generally, i think they are all nonsense.
i was "individune" to get such a lucky shot of this yellow-shoe jeune fille across the tracks!
comments more than welcome!

| Interesting ... I normally give about 3-6 10s and 8-10 9s in a member challenge. My top pic is a 8 and there's only one. Quite a few 7s and 6s though. Some folk have made a real effort but there's none of the same wow that I normally expect to find in a handful of photos. Is this just me? |

Very cool Daisy. I had a couple of cool shots of the xmas lights that I thought about redoing, but hubby refused to put em back up just for this ;)
Needless to say, I'm right behind ya with a 4.47...but it's been going up!

It could be just your taste.
I think though, that in general websites like dpc have a postive feedback mechanism that selects a certain type of image that is popular.
Images (and the photographers who produce those images) that meet that nebulous 'dpc-style' do well. Those that don't get commented and voted down. You either adapt to that style when you enter here, or you go away. This positive feedback then re-enforces the dpc-style, over the months and years - which can very strongly bias the types of images you like, particularly if your only or main exposure is through this avenue.
Each web site (and associated community of photographers) will develop this group-think, much in the same way as a photographic club will develop such a view.
This is a really common phenomena by the way, and nothing wrong with dpc as such. All the modern and contemporary art -isms can be characterised as a group of like minded artists coming together around a common style or theme, and copying, reproducing, enlarging and expanding upon that base style. The F64 group of west American photographers are a good example of this (Adams, Weston et al) in a photographic sense. There are other 'schools' of photography that find that perfect sharpness, heavily processed B&W printing approach as a complete anathema to what a good photograph should be. The only change to this in more modern examples is the removal of a need for geographic co-location.
This is just a long winded way of saying that I don't think the general dpc-view really supports much motion blur in an image, so it isn't too surprising that maybe you don't like motion blurred shots that much.

Gordon,
interesting observations- thanks.
Personally. i love motion blur - any kind of blur. Maybe I'll upgrade my votes by one notch. I just get the feeling that it's been a real challenge (as demonstrated by low number of entries). I've rewarded a lot of photos I'd normally give 5s or 6s to by giving 6s and 7s because the photographers made the effort. They'll probably get a notch up one. I'll sleep on it :)) |

After voting, I have to say I think I agree with you though :) There are a few outstanding efforts.

Interesting stuff Gordon
I'm a new member, only taken part in 5 challenges and I'm already "trying to please" the pack when I'm shooting and editing.

Personally, I find the having a secondary subject or background effected by motion blur has a much stronger impact than when the primary subject is subject to motion blur. There are ways to make a motion blurred primary subject work, but it is VERY difficult. A few entries in this challenge have succeeded in doing so, but some others just look like erant snapshots.
