'Blur' Update (There Are Now Three Prizes)

First: an excellent recent panning blur, complete with the backstory: Mathieu van der Poel on the Poggio by Simon Gill. The tip came in from a reader in Wales also called Simon. Cycling fans can even buy a print at Simon Gill's website, for reasonable prices. For those of you who don't shoot professionally, the text gives a good example of what's involved in getting a shot when you have to.

Next: The "Blur" Baker's Dozen is proving popular. Entries continue to come in. If I were Ctein, I would have all the data on past Baker's Dozens and I'd be able to tell you where this one ranks so far in terms of the number of entries. But, being me, all I can tell you is that...entries continue to come in.

Finally: Thanks to a number of generous donors, there are now THREE prizes:

• First Prize $192.40 (so far!)
• Second Prize $100
• Third Prize $50

Woo-hoo! Wealth. The weird number for first prize is donations minus fees. I've set a new GoFundMe goal as of Wednesday morning, and added a bit to cover the fees. I'm sure the prizes aren't the most important part to you, but it's kinda fun and it's interesting to see how it works.

You've still got plenty of time to play with blur. The entry period doesn't close until the end of next Monday.

Gaaaaagh!

Effing imposserous!

I take lots of Blur photos, with old lenses, LenBabies, pinholes, zone plates, contemporary lenses with filters, looong shots over hot landscape, and so on.

There are so many I love! So many, many more that don't work, but that's not the problem . . .

Choose one?? [sound of strangling moose]
