From 3 years ago, taken with an iPhone 5s and Slow Shutter Cam. I think that every now and then the broken streaks in iPhone long exposures can add to rather than detract from a photo.

MobiColour RESULT: MC #92 Theme: Motion Blur/Slow Shutter - Oct 30-Nov 5
From 3 years ago, taken with an iPhone 5s and Slow Shutter Cam. I think that every now and then the broken streaks in iPhone long exposures can add to rather than detract from a photo.
This afternoon I made several more tests with slow shutter apps. This is something to think about - doing slow shutter tests in full sunlight with no neutral density filters and shooting directly into the light and having shutter speeds of up to 15 seconds. This obviously would not work with real continuous time exposures so there is something to be said for the segmented approach. I could have made longer exposures but I observed that the effect usually looked nicer at 5 or 10 seconds.
In a way it’s completely unreasonable to expect this to work.
I couldn’t find anything better than NightCap Camera. With these apps that layer multiple frames together there is the risk that more and more frames starts to make the image less and less sharp.
Incidentally, the ISO was set at 25 and the shutter speed it reported was 1/50000! I have no idea how many frames it made. Try that on your DSLR

Fabulous. I love both of these.
Lots of motion in this one John - brilliant!
Love it.
I’d take this in my new b&w challenge Jeffrey.Grooms of Yesteryear

IPhone 6s, CortexCam, Snapseed
I’ve added this before but wanted to post it again. This is my late wife and her sister walking through a deserted stable in a development near where we lived. I was experimenting at the time with CortexCam and came across this effect quite by accident
What a great image. This makes me want to plonk someone in a busy place, make them keep still whilst everyone rushes about, so that I can get something like this.
What an amazing effect. I love this.

)... this is just beautiful, however it was made.
How lovely.... looks like feathers.
It’s time for FundyBrian to adjust his lenses, tune his blurred vision and choose the winner(s) for this week! 
Great images everyone!
Great images everyone!
Three years is an ice age in mobile photography. Why, that's even before Hipsta's first Pak!
Love the image

I’m on it!
First of all, I greatly appreciate how many people took up the challenge and created new images for Motion Blur. The Mobi creativity at work! We don’t tend to have many blurred images on our camera rolls.
Not ones we show off, anyway
I love this!
Oops, maybe I meant to post that somewhere else. Lol Delete as necessary...This is wonderful! Except..... this is a color challenge.

It's not even my banana.
Just for fun. 2 second exposure of the brazier. No edit.
And one with Light Camera.
And one with Light Camera.
I'll move it to the B&W challenge.Oops, maybe I meant to post that somewhere else. Lol Delete as necessary...
Magical.
Perhaps I just don’t see color so goodI'll move it to the B&W challenge.
. Or I’m a rebel. Yeah, that’s it...
These are great.
Motion Blur turned out to be a good place to exercise creative ideas and there were many different interpretations of motion and how to show it.
Top spot goes to GroovyGouvy for her Escalators photo. I especially like the combination of sharp static areas and the contrasting smooth blurs of people going in more than one direction. Her photo also has good contrast, colour and design. She made very successful use of Taru Camera on her iPod.
Second goes to ImageArt - Ann for her suspension bridge photo photographed from a moving car using OverCam. It has wonderful tonality and sense of speed. If I was driving a motorcycle I would imagine my feet trailing straight back in the wind.
Third goes to Rizole for one of his highly abstract night street scenes. He submitted the biggest variety of creative ideas but his night time exposures have lovely rich dark tones and atmosphere. There's someone not afraid to be out on the edge.
Everyone else deserves most highly esteemed Honourable Mentions for their unique and creative interpretations of motion.
Well done everyone for taking the challenge.
And now its up to GroovyGouvy to set the theme for the next MC challenge.
