Hi Everyone, dgrin challenge 68 is here. It will run from Monday June 26th at 12:00:01 a.m. NYC time, through Monday, July 10th at Noon NYC time. The guest judge for the challenge will be the winner of challenge 67, as determined by the voters.

Remember, in order for everyone to benefit, you should be commenting and critiquing for others as much as you expect to get for yourself. You've got to give to get!

The challenge 68 theme is Blur.
Motion Blur is just one way to make creative use of blur. In sports, the
movement of a pitcher's arm gives the viewer a sense of motion. In
motor sport, motion blur gives a sense of speed.

This thread, is the one into which you post your challenge entry, and remember, one entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during the challenge period. You must post the date the photograph was taken or it will be deemed ineligible. Any entries without a date included, either typed in or by linked exif, will be deleted without notice.

All of the rules of the dgrin photo challenges apply, please read them!

***Challenge 68 will close to entries on Monday, July 10th at 12 Noon NYC time***

    My demonic side comes out!

    1 second exposure, taken in a dark room in the light of my monitor, tungsten white balance. My horns are from spinning an LED stopwatch over my head (which is also why my face is blurry; twirling your finger in the air can be really hard work).

    I took this shot at my local mall. Ive always walked passed it thinking it would be a cool shot. And then this photo challenge came up and i was like "What better time than to take it now!" The little girl in the shot was just pure luck which i was fortunate to have! Thanks to all the people who critiqued this shot i truly appreciate it!

    I've never entered one of these challenges before but thought this picture met the criteria for "blur". I tend to pan with the action as I shoot my horses running in the field. I don't know how to link EXIF so it is copy and pasted below.
