Theme: PK Blurred

[Kerry Perkins]

This was an in-camera zoom blur of PK licking her paw that I cropped for composition, applied a Topaz Adjust layer, sharpened just the central area of interest and made a little border. :D Used my 50D with a 70-200mm f/2.8, f/11@1/10 sec. As you can see, I got some lateral blur in with the zoom blur, as I didn't use the tripod on this one.

Kerry, The fact that this was done in-camera makes it even more appealing!! Love the colors and the blur looks great especially by her ear.

nice job Kerry....very well done "in camera"

Why should it be more appealing than one done out of camera?
A good original and out of camera process can be equally appealing IMO

Dave, Good point-I guess what I meant to say is they are sometimes harder to control. An in-camera or Post process blur really can have equal appeal, not that post processed are easier because they are not. It takes alot of work and skill to produce an appealing blur image in-camera or post process!! So I mis-spoke sorry!!:)

Fabulous work Kerry! I am all shaken. So good OOC. I have tried for about an hour this tele zoom and I tell ya, I suck big time. :( You rock buddy. :)

Kerry, great job! It's hard enough to get a decent zoom on a tripod. I don't have enough hands or wits
about me to accomplish it without one:D PK looks like a neat cat!
