Adamski Effect - Motion Blur
Dec 5, 2023 12:53:02 #
I read an article on the Adamski Effect, and thought I'd give it a try. The Adamski effect is created by cutting out the subject of a photo to a new layer, filling in the resulting hole in the original layer, then using motion blur on the original layer. Here's a few tests I tried. By the way, the motorcycle is a statue in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington OH, and the Indian statue was taken in Santa Fe.

I think the first four are absolutely marvelous! Composition, story, colors, subjects - all perfect IMO.
The heron I'd consider placing somewhere out of the center if you want its own motion to carry more impact. The last has very cool subject matter, colors and composition. Not too fond of the cut-out feel along the shore or the trees, though.
You've shown us a fantastic assortment of quality works, Dan. Much appreciated!

Careful or you will quickly become addicted to this technique. Nice work!

Blur Adamski background and fixed image foreground gave great motion effect. The dog is what we would experience if we were following the dog ... the rest of the image would be blurred as shown.
The mostly gray of the cyclist is very eye-catching.

I've never tried with the cut out. The results are quite spectacular. The last image was not my favorite; but it shows how versatile this technique can be. Thanks for the inspiration.

These are beautifully done. The last is a particularly creative use of the technique.
I’ve never done this before, but you’re inspiring me to try!
