step 1: drink lots of vodka when taking the image
step 2: drink lots of tequila when viewing the image

I'm not 100% sure how to do it on a photo, but I did do something similar to that font in college. I just copied my words several times. I changed the opacity of the copied words, then layered them a little staggered on top of each other. I'm guessing the process would be somewhat similar with a picture.

That would work for a font, since it has lots of transparent areas within the "bounding box" of the words. With an image, however, the opaque image in the middle would block any partially-transparent layers that are offset from it, with the exception of the very edges. It is unlikely, therefore, that the subject would show any blurring at all.

You could get something close by zooming during the exposure.

Once I was experimenting with exposure bracketing & acceidently mixed different images & got that kind of effect. Here is that one.

how exactly did you do thaT?

Well these are two different images in same shootout but with difference in their position & merged in a single layer adjusting the opacity of one layer slightly less than dominant layer.

take to shots of the same subject, put on opacity at 70 and the other at full, put it at whatever degree off of the one at 100% you want( keep them kinda close) and then motion blur from the same angle at desired amount.

sorry geoff, but actually it would work fine with layers set at lower opacity. the bottom layer would be 100%, then subsequent, offset layers at lower opacities. they will be on top, so they will show. zooming will create a cool effect, but it won't be what was illustrated by the OP, and is less controllable.

Ahh, of course. You're right. For some reason, I was thinking the layer at 100% opacity would be on top.

Thanks for pointing that out.
