Thanks again.
Thanks again.
I hear you on that one. lol
nice shots. The greenery ones....were any of those PSed or did you change any settings when shooting?
I just learned how to do the rolling shots last year where you make the street and background blurry and the car still in focus. If interested, I'll explain. But if you already know...no use making an a$$ out of myself looking like a know it all.

All you need to blur the background is a slower shutter speed - somewhere around 1/50-1/60 of a second or slower.
Basically, the quicker the shutter, the less motion is captured by the lens.
This is a reason for a tripod at night - night photography often requires longer shutter speeds, and without a tripod, pictures tend to be blurry from the movement of the camera at night.
It helps to have a camera with at least a Tv mode (shutter priority) that lets you set the shutter speed. Look into the Canon Powershot A-series.
BTW - P-shooter, I set my saturation a little higher on the camera, and then tweak the RAW in PS later.
