ND filters are great but it always bugged me why they are so expensive :) Here are 2 of my motion blur photography shots I'd like to share with you: Main subject - not moving - the movement is all in the background (passing by bus): http://www.flickr.com/photos/piotr_golebiowski/3976944655/ Example of the "pan and zoom" technique - picture shot from a moving vehicle, the main subject is panned (followed by with the lens) and the lens zoomed in all at the same time: http://www.flickr.com/photos/piotr_golebiowski/3968293317/ Take care!

Panning and long exposure example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagenhohn/4034357083/ Zoom example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagenhohn/4034366457/ quick panning at noon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagenhohn/4035134570/ I've also subsequently added several day-time car images from Gatineau Park zoom example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagenhohn/4035384090/ panning: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagenhohn/4035386854/ panning: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hagenhohn/4035386976/ The last two are good examples of differences in speed. Both were at the same car speed: 30km/h and both with the same camera settings (f16, 1/30 sec). However since the Maserati (the second shot) was another car length or so closer, I'm panning much faster, giving more apparent "speed" Barryl - in whatever program you are using, look for the command "crop". Hopefully that tidbit helps. Cheers, hagen Trying again (slow learner), thanks for the request Martyn.

I want to use it as a background on my desktop, but it way to large . New to digital. Thanks to all. Mot sure if this is the right place, but how does one reduce the size of a photo that was taken.
