Weekly Informal Challenge number 103 is "Move Me" (Thanks to Inga M. for this idea)

Use your camera to capture and use motion blur creatively by panning the camera or having a subject move through a long exposure(thanks Inga M.). We often use PS/Processing to create motion blur but lets do it the PURE way. Just make it about the motion as captured.

Helpful hints:

(1) Pan a fast moving object and find the blur in the passing back ground while keeping the subject more clear.
(2) Use the panning to paint a scene with motion. (Look for strong horizontal or vertical element that will be accentuated by the motion)
(3) Use a steady camera to capture and use a subject's movement over a longer exposure with other elements remaining steady.

This should involve so good experimentation. Have FUN!

“What is mind but motion in the intellectual sphere?”
-Oscar Wilde (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)

This was a real challenge for me, but I am glad I tried it,,,panning for me, is harder then it first seems.

Here's mine which was done the easy way by panning the camera. I tried several different things and this was my favorite.

Fellow pbaser Rosemary and I went to a local lake that's well known as a rest stop for migrating birds.
Today we were treated to hundreds of Trumpeter Swans - they were gorgeous.
