An abstract shot in which I physically created the blur with camera movement and then played with post processing effects on the iPhone screen to achieve this effect. I find it interesting to explore the range of effects available, but still believe in the ability of the eye of the photographer to exercise his/her vision to select from the multitude of options that which is the best looking shot. Is it quicker? Yes. Is it skillful? In terms of craft-like manipulation, no. Is it an unique creation in the way of any other more or less manually created photograph (pre-set up or post- processed), yes. Is it art? Depending on the final content and its impact on the viewer, visible or suggested, possibly. My view...don't dish it.

PS
Connection slow tonight so can't see uploaded shot or able to select thumbnail at time of postng...fingers crossed!
