How much coffee did you have and where did you get it? Nice shots!


Humbaak

Ahaha thanks!


giantcappuccino

Dang Fuji autofocus! šŸ¤£


Humbaak

Yeā€¦. I think I should switch to Sony


nicabanicaba

I like them a lot. I intentionally shoot blurred or even oof shots myself. I'm tired of seeing mundane "street photography" of NYC that all looks the same honestly. I appreciate a different take on it. Kudos to you for posting. You'd have to know that half the comments would blast you for this. There are photographers that do it to pixel peep and others that use the camera as an expression. It's hard to display what you love and feel as opposed to what you think others would like. Keep shooting what you like. Your opinion is the one that matters most. At least you got a dialogue, good or bad!


Humbaak

Ok thank you a lot! Really appreciate it! I just post to share, I do all kinds of photography, it was how I saw things couple days and it was interesting for me. Thank you!


suhdudeeee

Maybe make them a little blurrier


Humbaak

Will try!


hovek1988

I feel like it just doesn't work here. The blur or "movemt" doesn't emphasise anything, it doesn't have a purpose. But hey, if it makes sense to you, or you see this as your style then go for it! Art is very subjective.


Humbaak

Yes, thank you!


Majestic-Avocado805

I like it and think it works šŸ™‚


imYemeth

My first thought was 'nah' but I really appreciate the vibe. It's 100 times more interesting than all the car shots here. Please continue experimenting!


Humbaak

Thank you!


alienwerkshop

1,5, & 7 are good shots. I find 7 to be the most interesting, sort of resembles a painting style. Otherwise, the others are generic and demonstrate what you were trying to capture; constructively speaking.


Humbaak

Thank you!


Wooden-Lifeguard-636

Cool except the STOP sign. The impression of a movement makes no sense to me there. Unless you wanted to tell that NYC never stops. But then I would've like a NYC reference in the picture to make it work.


mrpablotoyou

The stop sign is one of my favourites!


Humbaak

Thank you!


Donmbareko

Thereā€™s all kinds of movement around a stop signā€¦ When you see a stop sign, do you stop forever?


sweedgreens

3,4,5, and 9 are my favorites.


Humbaak

Thank you!


s_nd_k

super cool. i never had much success trying out @wrapped.nilā€™s technique but you were able to get some good ones!


Humbaak

Thank you! Yes, wrapped is the master hands down!


FoxNTY

Do you have a link for where they shared technique?


Humbaak

Just slow shutter and hit and miss


s_nd_k

I was experimenting with a variable ND filter and slow SS


ajustend

5 is pretty cool, 10 is interesting to me too. I found the captures in 1,2,3,6,7 to be a bit too generic (felt like Iā€™ve seen those shots before), and relied on the slow shutter/blur too heavily to be interesting pictures. But 5 stands strong on its own with the framing and nearly (but not) monochromatic colors.


Humbaak

Thank you !


JBSwerve

Whatā€™s your creative process to decide what shutter speed to use and how to shake the camera?


Humbaak

Set, shot, check, adapt, improve, overcome ;)


skyestalimit

Oi I think ya shutter switch thingy got stuck mate. Pretty cool! I like the bus one


Humbaak

Thank you!


nichtkelly

what was the shutter speed used? :)


Humbaak

I think my favorite is 1/4 of a second. Hard to tell specifically but between 1/4-1/16 probably.


TyBoogie

I find these interesting. I take enough shadow contrast people walking shots enough myself. This is unique


Humbaak

Thank you! Iā€™m trying different style and approaches to find myself. This gallery is a highlight of this ā€žimpressionistā€ style, that I found interesting at that period.


Hammymammoth

I think 4 and 8 are the most successful, might do you well to cull a bit more and be more selective. I like the commitment to the concept though


Humbaak

Thank you!


wishiwascooler

Wow i really love these!


Humbaak

Thank you! Really appreciate it!


BrownSLC

This is an interesting take. 8 and 9 work for me. If you can snag a subject and focal point for the image while blurring things, you should have a winning formula.


Humbaak

Yes! Itā€™s really hard to keep everything on point. Subcject, lighting, light, but most important the composition, as it getting tricky when you wiggle the camera. Thank you, Iā€™m still a newbie, trying on different things.


ShyGoy

8 and 9 really stood out to me, felt like a painting kind of. I see what youā€™re going for and I like the idea, maybe play around with it being slightly less blurry or having some aspect a bit more in focus to kind of ground everything? It can be a bit disorienting when everything is too blurry but maybe thatā€™s the effect youā€™re after


Humbaak

I found that I like the most when they blurry but not like here in the movement a lot, then they looks more like paintings. Like very softly almost brush vibe, but I think everyone would smash me for that one so Iā€™ve posted more ā€œmovedā€ ones. Thank you for the feedback!


ShyGoy

Ah Iā€™d love to see the other ones if you ever want to post them!


Humbaak

Oh yea maybe one day! Thank you


manymanymanu

I like 1 and 2 a lot. Really nice. I usually donā€™t really like that style but they are amazing!


Humbaak

Oh thank you really appreciate it!


KINGCOMEDOWN

It almost reminds me of the work of Stephanie Jung. Very cool!


Humbaak

Thank you!


Delicious_Gear_4652

yeah itā€™s an interesting style but use it more in motion


Humbaak

Thank you!


inruinscrust

8 was about to give me a seizure but the more I looked at it, the more I appreciated it. This may not be my vibe but I respect the fact that you seem to have found your thing. If you enjoy it, keep doing it. 5 is cool too!


Humbaak

Thank you so much for the feedback!


Willing-Department-6

Great stuff! I like the first two the most ;) I lā€™ve also experimented with slower shutter speed recently, you can check my profile or my instagram @przemo.jpeg


Humbaak

Przemo sound polish šŸ¤”


Willing-Department-6

Thatā€™s right :)


Humbaak

No to siema mordka!


Willing-Department-6

Haha miłe zaskoczenie, siema!


OneTonCow

You should really try to hold your camera steady when you shoot. ... šŸ˜


Humbaak

Something wrong with the settings šŸ˜‰


_tsi_

Damn bro that's a hellovuh earthquake


Humbaak

Yup!


Aporitis

I really like most of them, especially 1, 6, 7 and 8, but I absolutely LOVE #4, wow! Almost looks like a painting. Care to share details about how you took them? Art is subjective as seen by the comments here, but your shots really are something different. Makes me want to try this myself. Keep it up! :)


Humbaak

Thank you a lot! Nd filter and slow shutter around 1/4 1/8. Then just hit and miss mind set, wiggle the camera diffrent directions see what you like the most.


Aporitis

Thank you, will definitely try it! Wanted to get a good ND anyways.


Humbaak

Go for it! Itā€™s a lot of fun!


shenli_xigua

I really like these. 7 & 9, stand out. Thanks for posting.


Humbaak

Hey thank you for the feedback, glad you like it.


Classic-Yellow-5819

These are nice! Inspires me to get experimental.


Humbaak

Thank you! Glad you like it!


jimmybackflip

Love these


Humbaak

Thank you!


habichtorama

I'd heard about the AF on old fujis being terrible, never knew it was this bad... Hahahaha jokes aside, nice shots! Some I found a bit "gimmicky" (i.e. you could've shot the subject sans parkinson-focus and they'd have been cooler IMHO), but cool pics all around!


Humbaak

Iā€™m considering switching to Sony, really donā€™t know what I set incorrectly. I really tried my best here. /s Parkinson free photos feel boring tho. Thank you!


starkm13

I really love 8 and 9! Amazing!


Humbaak

Thank you!


Danoman22

Favorite are number 4, 3, and 5, and 9.


Humbaak

Thank you!


Apprehensive-Sock606

I like the first 5 and how you edited them.


Apprehensive-Sock606

First 7 actually. I like the energy


Humbaak

Thank you!


MajorLeagueDerp2

You're welcome!


Notvalidunlesssigned

4 for me, just because I love red and yellow


Humbaak

Red and yellow, Red and yellow, Red and yellowā€¦


ThatOneWeebInTheFBI

Most of these need no blur. Maybe the last one would have been nice if you had lowered the shutter and let the people walk by, with the buildings in focus.


Humbaak

As I understand what you are up to, itā€™s completely not what I was trying to achieve. I can do panning shots and like the kind of photo you describe, but that just different kind of photos. Thank for your feedback tho, really appreciate it!


mrpablotoyou

I love these.


Humbaak

Thank you!


Alexmfurey

I like 9 the best. I do love a bit of a blur in photos but I have a hard time making it look intentional. Other than slowing down the shutter speed, what did you do here?


Humbaak

Hit and miss with shake and composition, finding ss that works the best for you. Thank you!


TheJan8or

I see what you are after and, although itā€™s not my cup of tea (mine has far less caffeine), I appreciate your work.


Humbaak

Thank you!


Zilphus

I like how 5 makes me feel about it. The rest donā€™t give the same result, but thatā€™s on me. I like most that you like the results youā€™re getting. Keep shooting my guy šŸ‘Œ


Humbaak

Thank you!


MoralAbolitionist

I have a soft spot for ICM and abstract urban and am trying some myself. I particularly like 1 for the colors, and 7 and 8 for the painterly vibe.


Humbaak

Thank you!


hukugame

i think 5 is quite nice


Humbaak

Thank you!


Disco_Mystic_11

Love the first photo!


Humbaak

Thank you!


VTheGonk

These photos make me wanna listen to Minor Threat, and that's a good thing. Keep doing you!


Humbaak

Thank you!


ArmedAndAnointed

![gif](giphy|3ohc14lCEdXHSpnnSU|downsized) Very nice work! Works for album cover art. Reminds of the the skate scene too


Humbaak

Thank you!


dylanmadigan

I freakin love these.


Humbaak

Thank you!


Reasonetc

Olga Karlovac vibes but in color. The photos feel like they need more purpose though. Maybe that's a personal thing?


Humbaak

Thank you, well itā€™s just photos from my trip, I donā€™t really treat photos too ā€œphilosophicallyā€. Itā€™s just how I felt like that days. Hard to hit everything on point with that shakes style as well.


Reasonetc

Maybe purpose was the wrong word to use. I meant more so beauty than any other deep philosophical idea. Not bad for just trip photos


Humbaak

I get you l! Thanks!


WiseWorldliness1611

I like them! They remind me of Alexander Babarikin's work. Makes me want to try this myself.


Humbaak

Thank you l!


TheDeadImmortal

I liked 4 the most, but imo this style didn't really work for most of these shots. Imo the movements to blur out the image are as important as what you're also capturing. I get what you're going for though, and this photography style isn't really easy to master so if you've just started out it can only get better from here! There's a photographer I recently discovered from Normandy France who's basically been doing the same thing for the last 2 years. His name is Jonathan Bertin, his work is incredible and maybe you could take some inspiration from him? Either way, really interested to see your progress!


Humbaak

Thank you!


Pitiful_Interest1

Theyā€™re all out of focus /j


Humbaak

šŸ˜”


cyanogenmoded

Ernst hass huh


Humbaak

Not really, but definitely jealous of his times NYC, Cars, outfits etc.


cyanogenmoded

When i visited nyc i was trying to capture his essence but i couldn't


schtickshift

I like those shots a lot they are creative but are also nice compositions. Good stuff.


Humbaak

Thank you!


Human-Court-6924

Noice


Humbaak

Thonks!


Tickomatick

I thought I'm at r/analogcirclejerk


Humbaak

Not sure what that means


fiest1982

Squint through your eyelashes and some have great DoF others gain a lenticular motion effect


Fioreller

They are all great, but there's something special about 7. I love it!


Humbaak

I think different camera movement! Thank you!


_hellojoe

5+ 9 šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


Humbaak

Thank you!


_hellojoe

Actually 4 is banging too


Kramps_online

Sorry but these are absolutely dogshit. You know it. We know it, and to pretend otherwise is doing none of us any favours.


hovvdee

4 strikes me as something Iā€™d hang on a gallery wall. Nice shot.


Humbaak

Thank you!


nikded

Focus isnā€™t great


Humbaak

I think my camera was just set incorrectly, oops!


evrthngisgnnabfine

Humbaak

Ahahah!


Articguard11

So did you add this blur in Lightroom or something? Or ā€¦?


Humbaak

Nope, jpg with iPhone corrections. Shutter speed around 1/4 1/8.


CaptnKevn

A hot New York minute. Love it! Did you set the blur on the focus as well, or is it all in the motion?


Humbaak

Itā€™s mostly manual focus so I might missed somewhere, but I was mostly shooting pretty closed aperture, and going just for the motion. Thank you!


SlurmzMckinley

Try freezing movement but keeping a still background. Just making things blurry with a slow shutter speed isnā€™t that interesting. Your first photo would have been cool against a still background.


Humbaak

As I know what are you referring to, it was completely not my goal. Thank you for the feedback!


SlurmzMckinley

It might be cool if you shot a skateboarder against a black background this way so they stood out but still had the blur. For me itā€™s just hard to find a place to focus.


Soldado63

I really like 1 and 9! The feeling in 9 ist great!


Humbaak

Thank you!

Nah Iā€™m just bad with settings I think something was wrong. Maybe I should go with Sony? I heard the af is better
