Technique Challenge 82 - Motion Blur

March 7th, 2018
thanks to everyone who participated in the last challenge, and thanks to @fotoblah for hosting...

for this go round i've chosen "motion blur"... the idea here is to use a slightly slower shutter speed in order to capture motion in an interesting way...

here is some info about the technique for folks who may be unfamiliar with it:

@pistache I used iPhone app called Slow Shutter Cam ($1.99 from iTunes)
There are 3 capture modes on this app,
1)motion blur
2)light trail
3)low light
I mostly used the “light trail” mode for these ghostly effect!
………Additional editing and adjusting made from other apps- Snapseed and superimposed( for double/triple exposures)
