I think people just want to know what the rules are so they can play by them. Obviously cameras and lenses can give some photographers a huge advantage over others in a challenge of this nature.
Image processing is the only true equalizer.

Out of curiosity, what "huge" advantages to you see appending to certain cameras and/or lenses in this challenge? All I can think of, offhand, is that dSLR owners who have zoom rings on their lenses can more easily do "zoom blur" than P&S owners...

| yeah and zoom blur isn't even motion blur in my book, altho similar. Course it could be combined with motion blur ;-) |

| My image is all about creativity and ingenuity - didn't use any advantage I couldn't have captured with a P&S. |

Be that as it may, here's the challenge description: "Intentional motion blur is an effect that can be achieved by zooming on a stationary subject, panning a moving subject, using long exposure, etc. "

I have been shaking my pc vigorously while running PS, but I still can't get the motion in the photo to improve. I guess I will have to depend on what I got in-camera.

Really can get you in trouble to assume the general meaning of the challenge title! Thanks for pointing that out. The worst case i can remember was minimalism, which had nothing to do with the common meaning of simplicity. |

I don't think you're right about this, not in this challenge.

Again, I disagree. Not everyone has the same image processing software, ability, or even inclination.
Are you maybe saying that for those with "lesser" cameras, the ability to add motion blur in post-processing would equalize the field? I don't think you're right about that either. |

That is a legitimate question. Here is a hypothetical example...
Suppose two photographers pan exactly the same moving object in exactly the same way and click their shutters at the same time. One photographer has a point and shoot with an 80mm non-electronic lense and gets only one capture and the other has an SLR with high speed imaging and a 300mm image stabilized telephoto lense. Who is most likely to get the better capture?
The point and shoot guy has to be lucky and more creative than the other guy. So I repeat...
Image processing is the only true equalizer.

I'm in and probably made the wrong choice to enter, as usual.

Welllll... Uh... Hmmmmm... I disagree with you to! Na, Na, Na, Na, Na! Everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you. So there. Take that. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! LOL!!!!!!!
(Awwwww... I'm probably still miffed I didn't get to meet you when you were down in Utah)
