Hey guys/gals,

I have an idea or two for this month's theme. You know I like a challenge, mainly to allow folks to think outside of their box and try something new. I really enjoyed the dialogue last month. I also think these contests are as much about the journey and creative process as the end results themselves.

So with these things in mind here ia an idea for October. How about Blur this month? I think this can be left up to the individual to interpret any way he/she envisions. The time of the day/night doesn't matter nor the subject. I'll leave that part up to you to think about and experiment with. Hopefully everyone can participate as all cameras can capture some kind of blur in one form or another.

As we did in the last thread, I'd also like to keep this thread open to discussing ideas on the subject or posting some attempts as people feel so inclined. So what do you think?

Derek

Great subject! Very open-ended with tons of possibilities.

EDIT: So I assume the contest is open as of now? Presumably there will be another thread for just the submissions? And when does it close?

Blur... cool. I can do that, shoot I can do that without trying on some shots... oh wait, that's out of focus not blur.

LOL... Yeah, I've seen some cool shots from ppl who actually dropped their camera while taking a picture or it drooped down while on the tripod.

So this month should be interesting to say the least. I caught myself experimenting a bit already. No earth shattering results or anything. But I had fun trying something different.

It really is a great topic, Derek. I already have a few ideas in mind, but they'll take a while to set up, or have to wait for the right conditions.

I already have an idea but I have to wait for the right conditions which may not arrive in time. Even if they don't (I actually hope they don't lol) I should fair well.
