 I set up the camera on a mini-tripod, set the exposure and focus, activated the timer, then had [user]Isaac[/user] trigger the shutter-button while I tried to time the shuffle to the exposure. We were outdoors and there was actually more light than we needed, and without a ND filter I couldn't really get the exposure long enough to show the motion blur effectively.

Sir General I think the concept was a home run. The only thing stopping this from being a top 5 finish is the lack of motion blur which, as you said, you couldn't get without a ND filter.

This is good but for some reason I find myself wishing there were more cards. Don't ask me why... maybe it'd give it room for more creative shuffling positions?
