Action Blur:
I took this image in manual mode, adjusting settings as I saw fit. I used a fast shutter speed, 1/500, in order to capture this moment. Many others were taking pictures as well, so I was pretty proud of this image. I edited out someone’s hand and another person’s shoulder using content aware fill. Then I played with the levels and saturation, adjusting the exposure and color intensity. I had to mask out part of the saturation on their faces because it made their faces too red, but I wanted the color of the building to stand out some more.

Blur Motion (Ghost shot):
For this image, I also used manual mode. This one was tricky because it was so bright in the place I was taking the image. I used a four second shutter speed to get the image and had him run down the stairs after two or three seconds. It ended up being a pretty bright image, so I brought it into Photoshop and dimmed down the walls so they weren’t so bright. I used a mask to choose only the walls, and then I reduced the opacity on the brush so it wouldn’t take out all the brightness and went over his face and body because it was also bright. This is the result I got.
