In the end, all semantics aside, if it doesn't have streaks and/or significant aesthetic blur it isn't gonna score well. That much I'm pretty sure of. In other words, if you hand-hold at 1/15 second and shoot a landscape, and no part of it is sharp, that's not gonna work with the voters. If you keep the camera still and shoot for many, many seconds (star trails, say, or cars at night on the freeway from an overpass) leaving a sharp surround but something tracking in the picture, that won't score well either.
But do the car shot from WITHIN a moving car, you've got a "moving camera" and if you do it with a long enough exposure, like you-know-who-the-top-down-back-roads guy, then you're cooking with gas...

Action panning shots should work. Again, you probably need a slower exposure to show the motion blur.

Shouldn't be too hard with all the drugs they have me on. I can't seem to help but move the damn camera when I try to take a picture lately. Not that I had the steadiest hands to start with.

Hi everyone, seems that this has not been asked yet... what do you think that falls within the expression "move your camera"?
The only thing I am sure will "meet the challenge" is panning. What I would like to experiment with, but am pretty sure will be "DNMTC", is zooming in/out during the shot.
Actually the lens is part of the camera, and when zooming I am MOVING it, but I feel that not too many will view it this way.
What's your opinion? |
You're not technically moving the camera when zooming in or out. The glass elements are moving, yes, but the camera isn't. |
I think that will be my stance when shooting and voting on this one, too. The camera itself NEEDS to be moving, NOT FIXED. |
Moving relative to what? |
Your belly button. :) |

i should double check the description to see if it says anything specifically about moving the camera body. my guess is no. |
Yeah, what he said. There will be many interpretations, IMHO panning ( albeit true panning the camera and subject remaining fixed ), zooming whilst exposing and moving teh entire assembly whilst exposing will all score from me, IF THE RESULTING IMAGE IS INTERESTING..... Oh, bye the way, that last bit is actually what it is all about!

The funny thing is, when I took the zooming during a long exposure shot, I held the lens steady and moved the camera around. So actually, I moved the camera body much more than the lens. I'll certainly consider this camera movement. If the camera was held still, the picture would look completely different. |

Entry in! I handheld my shot and panned the camera. Hope the idea and title is not lost on speed voters...
