Ive been experimenting - I see no reason not to use a tripod even with camera movement

moving the camera in one plane - sideways / vertically / or rocking provides different results but a bit more stabilised

I've also mounted the camera with a thin plate between the camera & the head - boing !!! it

 

[Luke]

I agree ReD. I definitely find it easier to get a targeted "look" by using a tripod to limit the motion to one direction. Of course, for some images a more scattered approach may work best. In general, it's best to experiment.

Will probably change this as time & technique progresses but here is a submission

I think that if you go to the

there is a link somewhere in there with a tutorial on this technique

 

[ReD]

Dammit, I have this print on my wall that I shot with a $100 Nikon Coolpix in 2008, and I have no idea if the file still exists. I shot it over my shoulder, walking across a bridge between the South End of Boston and Southie, of my wife and our friend. Didn't even look to frame it, just turned it on / aimed in their general direction / fired. The light trails from the street lights make this J shape from the movement, and the details are all nicely blurred, but you can still see that she's dressed to go out and has fantastic legs.

I coulda won this sucker.

you could a shot of the shot.....you'll lose even more detail

Swing the camera wildly past the blurry print as I snap a picture of it...

As good as it gets from me

Shot in my front yard a few moments ago... 3 seconds swivelling from the ground up, on my golden cane palms. I like the one frond visible in foreground, it was much closer to me, I expected it to be washed out with everything else (and in some other shots it was, but I liked this best). Needless to say at f16 it was still a bit washed out so some judicious PP in Photoshop did the rest (no software filters, only an ND8 on the camera)

If I may... No photoshops were harmed in the making of this picture - this is your actual, physical, real-world motion-blur only.

[ReD]

on a turntable?

 

[Luke]

just rotating the camera during exposure would be my guess.

 

[ReD]

Probably yes Luke - not sure if I can do this on my tripod

Playing dominoes with my wife last night, I decided to take a few snaps using camera movement. This is my new entry to replace my earlier one.
