Tamron AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical for Nikon

Many people commented that they didn't see the blur in my photo. I used the zoom blur technique to make the light look like a spot light. I was worried that voters wouldn't be looking for this type of blur, or that maybe I didn't do it good enough. looks like I was right on all accounts. for those that liked it thank you. for those that saw it but didn't think it was good I will try to do better next time:) and for those that didn't see it here is my entry and a much more exagerted version that has not been processed.

it was not added in post processing. what are you talking about. the blur was made by zooing out from a lighted object, the one that is not processed still has the blur just doesn't look as good.

Reminder: Motion blur should NOT be added in post processing

If I am reading this right, motion blur was not added in post processing. It was done using a zoom blur effect (physically zooming the lens in or out during the exposure).

Just like this one....

Too sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...............

Sorry when I read your post processing it reads to me that it was achieved post processing. HOwever I overlooked the puncuation. My bad!

I don't "get" any of these for this challenge (but don't panic, I didn't penalize anybody because of it).

Yes, I understand the concept, but there is no motion involved!

Nothing in those zoom effect photos moved, so I don't understand why anybody would call it "motion blur".
