It’s all a blur.

Posted on January 21, 2019 by David M

This week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is It’s A Blur.

One image instantly came to mind when I read the prompt. I then thought of various other photos that would suit the challenge. In the end I went with my initial pick as I seem to have been rejecting my first choice rather a lot recently.

The photo is of the centre of a Coneflower with motion blur. Although there are some hints of sharpness bottom left.

soft and warm – very lovely blur – is it sharpness then that gives those trails to blurred images?

  I’m not really sure. I suspect it could be that for a fraction of the overall exposure there isn’t any movement. So you have a “ghost” of a sharp image under the blur.

  Thanks. I doubt that I could reproduce it as I suspect that it’s a combination of camera and plant movement.

Following your instincts worked well. I’m glad you told us it was a coneflower – I seem to see it differently knowing that.

  Thanks Susan. I thought that I should explain what it is because it probably is hard to work out.
