Just for fun, Water Fall Blur

[Jay Sheinfield]

I have no experience with in-camera blurs............this was an accident, but it was kind of interesting nonetheless. The horizon is a bit centered. I guess it amounts to a wide angle vertical pan.

This was taken at the same water falls as my previous post, but I was standing to the side. Cropped.

Thanks for the look............

Great blur! Love the trees and the motion of the water. It almost looks like you're standing behind the waterfall looking out.

Nice image and application, Jay.

All mistakes aren't! You can always bring them to OOTB and show them here. This is a good example of one that works.

A couple of ... if it were mine ... suggestions. I have started to love Selective Color in PS Adjustments. I use the Black, Neutral and White in that order. Getting the Blk right, as you envision it, makes the image pop. Neutral and Wht adjustments compliment that as needed. I use the other color adjustments as desired for the image. I think that would make this image pop.

A little more saturation would also help after the above adjustments.

From there, whatever your vision is!

But like it as is as well, just something you might want to consider for the future tweaks of this image.

Jay, I am with Maureen on this one... it does feel like you are behind the waterfall. Nicely done.

Jay, I agree with Maureen it looks like you were standing from behind the falls. Interesting effect.

Hi Jay, the blur looks really good to me and I would say that you now have experiece... I wouldn't know that it was not planned, as it looks like a nice radial blur that you worked hard to get. I agree that a bit of saturation would help the image pop a little more. Good show!
