"Summer Night on Hillsborough Street"
Raleigh, NC - August 2008 (Click to embiggen)
Hosted by Written Inc.This shot kept bugging me, and I finally found a place for it where its "technical imperfection" doesn't matter. Fact is I like this shot. But it being a hand held night shot it's naturally going to have a little bit of camera shake and motion blur. Still, there's something about it that draws me, and I really wonder if I'd like it as well if it were knife sharp.This was actually a pretty productive night for me photo-wise. In addition to the shot you see here, several others from the same run have graced my pages recently. The NCSU Bell Tower from last week, the September Wordsmith's Challenge prompt -- which also appeared in an earlier Thmatic Photographic, and you may recognize the "marquee" of Hillsboro Street Textbooks from an old Ruby Tuesday post.

yea, the blur does give it a kind of depth
I think the blur makes it more interesting--gives it character. :)

Focus schmocus .. its a good photo .. maybe a little less heat ..
I love this shot. What great color. I like blurring in a lot of photos. Carmi has the right idea. He also has a wonderful blog.
It gives the shot motion. I like it!
