Challenge: Abstract Motion (Basic Editing)
Camera: Pentax *ist DS
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Date: Mar 23, 2009
Aperture: 8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/2
Date Uploaded: Mar 24, 2009

 I tried to emulate a Duane Michals motion blur, as most of his motion blurs with people in them are dark and spooky.

I only used a few editing steps to create a darker setting. Raw conversion, contrast, levels, and photo filter. The lighting set up in pretty obvious.

Abstract in a conceptual manner, but I don't think that DPCers were really looking for that kind of abstract. I imagine that you're probably getting hit for that.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid this one doesn't hold my interesting very well, and it's not very abstract IMO.

Great job showing motion I would have liked a tighter crop on the subject.

Nice shot, but maybe a longer exposure to get more movement out of the subject.

Can we class the motion here as abstract?

This reminds me of a Stephen King book. The doppelgänger I think was the name of it.

There's motion alright, but I miss the abstract in this photo.
