I think it's time to do this. Use any amount of blur to enhance your image. Basic editing..... back by popular demand.

| Sounds like a nice idea. How about make it Basic editing? In camera blur is much more interesting IMO. |

That's what I would do anyway... but there could be more entries, overall, if we do advanced. |

| in other words this is nothing but a slow shutter speed, right? meaning subject is study and rest is not. It is different then bokeh I believe. |

No, I don't think this is right at all.
You can easily get blur with fast shutter as well.
The subject doesn't have to be steady at all.
Bokeh is blur, so there is no reason that shouldn't count at all. Maybe DPC voters don't agree with me here, but really bokeh is just an out of focus area. Out of focus is a type of blur. |

That is where I am also confused because when I look at blur, blur meaning something got out of focus kind of moved fast enough.
On the other end if I consider Bokeh then yes I agree because per the definition "Bokeh is derived from a Japanese word meaning "blurred" or "hazy," and it's used to describe the character of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image." But again, how others would treat this would be a question. may be  PennyStreet can share the thoughts when this idea was proposed :)

Out of focus is out of focus.
Blurred is blurred.
However, out of focus looks blurry. :)
But it does beg the question. Would you consider Marnet's water work blur?
I don't know that I would. It might be blurry, but I don't know that it's blur.
However, since I'm not sure, I'd probably vote on anything that couldn't remotely fit the definition. But it's interesting to discuss. :)
The dictionary says that it's all blur:
1. to obscure or sully (something) by smearing or with a smeary substance:
2.to obscure by making confused in form or outline; make indistinct:
3.to dim the perception or susceptibility of; make dull or insensible:
verb (used without object), blurred, blurring.
4.to become indistinct:
5.to make blurs.
noun
6.a smudge or smear that obscures:
7.a blurred condition; indistinctness:
8.something seen indistinctly:
Hmmm... I don't agree with the indistinct part, though!

PennyStreet would say "use your ingenuity". There are lots of ways to create blur - the challenge description says "Use any amount of blur to enhance your image" so go to it! |

No, bokeh is just a specific type of blur, motion is another. This challenge doesn't specify the type of blur. |

That's FINE! You make it a JPG when you submit it. The ONLY ruleset that requires shooting in JPG is MINIMAL editing, and that's because no editing at all is allowed. |

You can shoot your picture in RAW...you must CONVERT IT to JPEG to submit...or am I missing something? Could well be given my track record!!!
All Challenges (EXCEPT for Minimal Editing) are taken in RAW but SUBMITTED in JPEG. This challenge is no different.

Are we allowed to add like the blurr filters to it still or is that against the rules? I guess I am confused about the basic rules, I will have to read that thread now and re-read the rules
Thank you for confirming!
