This week's series, "Motion Blur," will bend time; it's magic! Practicing longer shutter exposures, I will give motion to static objects and forever freeze movement into a single frame. All images are single photos - no photo manipulations or double exposures.

Day 761 [7-20-15] "Dripping Skies" - Was focused on another type of motion blur, when I happened to notice the gorgeous sunset and thought, "let's try something here." Experimenting with a few shots, I came up with this half-second exposure photo. The trick was to hold steady then give a quick, upward flick at the end.
Day 762 [7-21-15] "Midnight Wave" - City lights stretched for 6 seconds, twirling my arms to create the "wave." The hardest part was creating a smooth curve - learning the hard way that even subtle slowdowns cause a kink in the light trails.
Day 763 [7-22-15] "Magician's Trick" - I even take self-portraits while sleepwalking.
Day 764 [7-23-15] "Face to Face" - "Finally found myself; fighting for a chance. I know now, this is who I really am." - 30 Seconds to Mars. For those curious, this was taken as a single image (no manipulation). I had 30 seconds to walk around and create my alter ego self-portrait atop the Oroville Dam.
Day 765 [7-24-15] "Neon Skids" - Do you remember Day 560, back on 12-31-2014? Here's the same location but on a summer night. Hwy 70 leading to Oroville, CA.
Day 766 [7-25-15] "Feeling Lazy" - Looking right through me. Void of energy by the time I started today's photo, I just lied down and went to sleep.
Day 767 [7-26-15] "I Can't Stop" - Dimensional distortion. Slow shutter speed dashboard cam.
