Motion blur


A streaking effect that results from the subject or camera moving during the exposure time, causing the image to be blurry. Examples of this technique include taking a long exposure photograph of a moving object passing through a stationary nighttime street scene or panning the camera while focusing on a moving subject in order to produce a background that is blurred.
