iso68 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Firstly, I am not sure I am allowed to upload the image due to copyrights. Sorry for the link. I don't want to get Serif or myself in trouble. I wonder how the artist did this image? I presume it's one image, layered, center in focus, left/right layers slightly shifted, opacity used, and some brushing, some blur. Although it could have been a 2nd image with motion blur, that's hard to control though. I really like this style and can see some motives it could be used on.

kaffeeundsalz Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Pretty sure there's a motion blur effect involved here. The blur might have been done right at the scene by first shooting the still image and then another one while moving the camera up or down with a slow shutter speed. I'm much more of a retoucher than a photographer though, so I can't say for sure. It can certainly be done in post: I would duplicate the image layer, apply a motion blur filter with vertical direction to it and then mask out the center part of the image to reveal the original area with the church floor. iso68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mc Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think @kaffeeundsalz has it figured out. Selective blurring on masked layers is almost certainly how this result was achieved. I think camera motion is unlikely as the blur effect looks very precisely horizontal and vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso68 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 In the meantime I looked up some motion blur videos. Affinity Photo is such a cool tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
