Project365 087: But is it Art?

Most often we are implored to quick the camera as steady as possible - use a tripod - use image stabilization - mirror lockup - remote shutter release, faster shutter speeds, high ISO, and wide open shutters to try to get as sharp a picture as possible. Time to break some rules. Today I start a series of images with the common thread of 'Intentional Camera Movement'.

Commuters in the Greater Toronto Area might recognize the blurry image in the back ground as a 'Go Train'. When I am on my way to the early morning train without enough sleep or enough coffee, this scene is not all that different from reality.

One of the sub-theme's of Mona Lisa's Smile is 'What is Art and Why?' So what do you think; is this art?


But is it Art?

Terry - Great theme. This is an application of thinking differently with the SLR. You should include flowers as well - please take a moment to look at this links
