Motion Blur (on purpose) in Sports Photos

I love motion blur and do quite a bit of it. However I do not photograph sports, so I will refrain from posting off topic pics. It seems to me most professional sports photos are frozen high speed shutter images. Personally I would like to see more slow shutter shots in sports.

Although I do not condone bull fighting, the photo posted above is very dramatic.

Wow, more responses than I expected. And some very cool Photos.

I see what you did on the 2nd shot... I did that once with my daughter's toy cat... I like your results better.

I love the basketball shot. Does not look like a pan. Did you zoom the lens during exposure?

Love working in the rain, low light or both for exactly this reason, though it is a lot less expensive and much more rewarding now than when shooting KR64 in 36 exposure rolls!!

Cool pictures. Please tell the shutter speed for your photos.

Most of my slow shutter shots are done at between 1/30th to 1/60th of a sec. The steeplechase water jump is always guaranteed to provide some action. In the second one I pulled down the contrast clarity and saturation looking for a painted type effect.

This is an image from an indoor athletics meeting on Saturday. I was curious to find out what would happen if I panned against the direction of the runners.

I shot this image at a Graffiti Art Installation at The Museum of the City of New York (sorry. It's not sports)...those are all spray-paint cans in the background. I also did not shoot this with my Canon system.
I shot it with a camera with IBIS. IBIS was on. I think that the IBIS caused the effect on the subject as it is not a straight "expected" blur... Interesting though. I shot slow and the IBIS froze the paint cans...but it gave this wonderful "rubberized" effect to my dapper subject!

Lot's of motorsport shots on show, like someone else said they might be a little cliche. However, there is very little scope for originality left so here's a few of mine hahaha

I take mostly cycling photos. For dark/evening races I like to use slow shutter speed (usually in the 1/50 to 1/160 range) and a speedlight:

This reminds me of the best of Steve Behr. He was (and maybe still is) the photographer for Mountain Biking UK when I was growing up and I always just took his work for granted until they did a feature on him and his techniques, no digital back in those days.. and I guess that was one small stone unturned on the journey of me taking my photography more seriously.

 

[jdramirez]

Still nothing special... but alot of what I did last night falls under that category.

 

[jdramirez]

I kinda like this one better... kinda...
