Taken from a bridge over the M40 motorway outside oxford. Chose the spot because of an absence of motorway lighting, and the curve of the road. It was freezing cold and windy as hell when I was taking the shot, but it was fun. Lit completely with ambient headlights.

Taken out of the window of a train outside Totness at around 100mph. Motion of me relative to train tracks was minimal, but motion relative to background was high, blurring the background nicely but leaving a nice sharp pair of tracks.

Very useful. If you are going to implement please share your results!

Thanks Pandya for the photos you posted and the explanation. Do you remember your shooting settings? Did you touch the images using any software?

Some of those are cool but most of the still scenes with moving vehicles or humans just look like crappy shots. Like why are there people blurred at the fruit stand or the water slide? Clearly the objects in motion weren't the focus (no pun intended) of those shots. And some just don't make sense. Like the first one. The building was moving on him? In both directions?

Yeah. The light trails on the motorway was shot with an EOS40D and a 17-40L lens at 17mm, ISO100, f/4 and a 25 second shutter. The train tracks was shot with the same equipment, ISO100, 17mm, f/8 and 1/25th second shutter. Some minor post work was done on both images to tidy them up, as I do with all my shots, but effects of motion blur were entirely done with the equipment, not in photoshop. Black and white conversion was done in Photoshop on the train tracks.

rashikaviani - no, most of them are not done in photoshop. It's what happens when you have a camera shutter open for an extended amount of time.

Here's my best efforts... they were all taken on a normal ?70 point and shoot digital camera with no special features...

the one of big ben and the red bus, i actually used someones head as a tripod lol....

cant get hold of originals at the moment which are a lot better quality... not bad for an amateur tho ay? lol

^ Just one of the shots I took on a freezing cold night. :)

Those 45 photo's are just amazing though!

Nice. Can you share the settings you used?

How did you do it? Did you ask them to stop moving?

That looks strangely like one of mine:

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
