There is a nice essay on motion blur photography at Luminous Landscape, titled “The Light Fantastic”. Encouraged by it, I did some experiments in motion blur today, after sunset when the sky had gone blue and the street lights were providing their different hues to the color mix.

Here are three photographs which I though were the best of the bunch. Not too bad - but it takes a lot of experimentation to get any results worth looking at.
