Whether to show motion or time lapse, bring attention to a detail, add an air of mystery, or just for a cool looking abstract shot, there are so many instances where a bit of blur is just what you need. This week we're focusing on just that. The contest begins now and ends Tuesday August 19th at 11:59 PDT. Good luck! It's also time to announce the winner of our last photo contest!
