Cvrle.

What kind of camera and lens are you using? What exposure, shutter speed, aperture, iso is your camera set to? Are you shooting with or without a tripod?

If you provide the EXIF data for the image, we could help you out a lot easier.

The only way to keep the people from blurring would be to use a faster shutter speed, but it's going to be tough to do that without underexposing horribly. You could increase the iso and use noise reduction software. But overall, if you're going to be doing this without lighting anybody, I think you're pretty much at the limits of what your gear can accomplish. I say use the motion blur deliberately.


Canon Powershot S30 @12.3mm (equiv: 60mm) . iso 80. f/3.5, 2/5s. ultrapod. Timer.

Thanks! I like it, too. I tend to post it at every possible opportunity on this board. I'm particularly proud of the fact that it was done with a 3MP point-and-shoot.

Inkista,

Just another example of great photography being about the photographer, not the equipment he/she uses. Although it does help sometimes.
