Jay just curious how you do the background blurs? Slow shutter speed and pan motion?

Amazing skills bruddah!

So looking forward to Key West.

Thanks! The answer is both. Those 3 shots in post #21 are all photoshop. The 2 previous of the Skater and Mystic are done with a slow shutter speed- a method that only works if you are moving at roughly the same speed as your subject matter.

One additional way is panning- moving the camera in sync with your subject (hopefully) to blur the background.
You gotta have a steady hand for this- I find that turning from the waist works best for me.
