For the Blur technique to work, a slow shutter speed is needed, however you do not want a very slow shutter speed because other wise the movement wouldn't be blur, it would be too distorted to even see what it should be, therefore a shutter speed of 1/4"- 1/2" would work well.
The equipment which will be needed for this shoot will be a tripod, without this, as I will be using a slow shutter speed, the whole frame would be distorted and that's not what I want to achieve.
Definition of Blur Photography: "the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image"- Google's meaning.
My Meaning- Blur Photography is where a given part of an image is blurred out, not completely but enough to distort the image so the audience cannot tell the slight movement.
This is an example which we were given in class by the photographer William Klein. This is a good example of blur because the people are still recognisable and aren't completely wiped out of the photo. Although you can see there is movement in this photo due to the blur on the foot. This image also shows how the blur technique is good for documentary images- the photographer captured blur through the movement but at the same time captured a subject looking at him as if to say "Why are you taking photos"- its a point of time captured by him.
