Give me that!

This is how my dogs spend their summer. What would I have to do to get

a blur effect that would be appealing? I mean one that would give a

sense of motion.

Increase your exposure time. In order to keep the light, you would also need to either lower your aperture (which would put the background buildings in less focus as well, a good thing given you want to keep the dogs the main subject), lower your ISO (you're outside in healthy light anyway), or a combination of both. A longer lens would also keep the subjects in focus, blurring out the background, and allow you to increase your exposure to let in more time and light.

 

Thanks for sharing your photo!

how did you get such a sharp and in focus shot, when the dogs are running.

 

what glass did you use.

I used the kit lens that came with my XT, it was really bright that day so I imagine that shutter speed is like 1/1000. This was back when I did not understand anything about photography, not even how the camera works. I used to just take pictures without giving any thought to what I was doing, just turn the camera on and take pictures.
