Last day check in. Still hovering. I think I nailed the right combo of blurry mess and recognizable comp. Some don't care for my entry, but nobody has called it DNMC yet, at least not in a comment.

That maybe true in your own little world, but besides MOTION BLUR there are at least two other qualities of blur, those are FOCUS BLUR (or simply OOF by purpose) and ZOOM BLUR. And now back to your narrow-minded voting. |
You forgot to mention environmental fog blur, and fogged lens/filter blur when shooting : ) It's old school stuff.
Still at 5.9+

Motion blur - the most fun and challenging of all for sure! :-D |
What's so challenging about motion blur especially in this challenge since the goal was blurry mess? If you used a tripod to "unmess" it you're getting a big fat 0 next to the category "meeting the challenge" from me. :-O

But you even say yourself that focus blur is basically deliberate OOF.
So, deliberately done or not, if it's OOF, it's OOF.

And it's BLUR.

Aie. I got a couple comments so far about a particular area in my photo being too (insert adjective here) when I specifically attempted to try to process it *not* to look that way.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. |

Eyewave...
I LOVE zoom blur. Ask anyone here who did a zoom blur, I think they're great. Motion blur, obviously I like it a lot.
But you even say yourself that focus blur is basically deliberate OOF.
So, deliberately done or not, if it's OOF, it's OOF.
BTW...you call me narrowminded...well, better that than splitting hairs to the nth degree. Nyah.

My litmus test isn't wether it's 'blurry' or 'out of focus' as defined above, but wether it looks like a poorly taken pic or wether the 'blur' or 'out of foucus'ness actually adds something to the composition. If I don't see that it adds anything then your not getting a good score. That was the challenge. To make the blurriest most chaotic image and still have it be ENGAGING. If the blur doesn't ADD to or completely dominate the composition then you have failed. If the subject is in focus and blur around it then your not doing well with me either. The blur should be a part of the subject or in my opinion this is not 'the blurriest'.

snaffles, while not attempting in any way to change your mind on what you consider out of focus or blurred, I would wonder what category you would put (say) a sharply focused rock that had Gaussian blur applied to it. Would it be a rock that then found it possible to move and become blurred, or would it become an out of focus rock. (given the illusion of out of focus by use of a blur tool.)

I'd have to see for myself how convincing the blur effect is in this case...:-) |

I'm participating/voting/commenting in this challenge, and yes, I personally like to get some idea of what is being blurred. The few 9s and 10s I've given out so far have been to shots where you can see the subject - then see it again as it's moved.
As for those who may not know yet...oof means out of focus. Something stationary that is not in focus is, well, oof. Something MOVING - either camera or subject - while shutter is open, is blurred.
If anyone has a problem with my comments, by all means pm me. |
Susan...you left me a great comment! Thanks! :) |
