So that's how you do that! Interesting how the focal point is so sharp with so much blur swirling around...I'd almost think it was photoshop instead of in camera. Very cool.

Photo taken with a Canon SD700IS set the film speed ISO to 100, which give you a long shutter speed...pan left to right at the same speed the girl is walking. ...just about no photShop on this one.

One more thing, Bob...if you also put a "2008" tag on your photos, viewers can at least click on that tag and see your shots with all the great uploads from the last few hours.

This is especially useful when some folks upload 10 or 20 photos at one sitting, knocking submissions off the initial Gallery screen so quickly.

Great technique..thank you! :)

Bob.. I really like this picture. I love all your pictures.. Such good ideas. Thank you.

Suggestion: Blur photos, see above.
One can use this technice to photograph a dog, cat, car, child in motion. a child on a swing will be fantastic PLUS...trees will add to the blur motion...slow shutter speed move the camera at the same speed the child on the swing is moving.
