Hello Jeff,
I use Affinity Photo with a little selected area, liquefy, and motion blur to achieve that effect. I am including an over done example of what I am talking about below. It certainly isn't something you would want to use all the time but in certain instances it can really add to a photo, for example blowing hair or side view automobile images.

Hi Ron,

Thanks very much for your explanation as to how this effect is achieved and also the photos. Always good to see the end result. I am not really familiar with Affinity Photo but I assume you can do a similar thing in Photoshop/Lightroom?

I really should spend a bit more time learning some more advanced image processing techniques but then I would be stuck in front of the monitor for to long lol.

Hello Geoff,

Sorry for changing your name (Jeff - Geoff) like all effects less is more. As far as Lightroom I don't know but Photoshop for sure does. The real power of these programs lies in their ability to apply masks to certain areas of the photo to add selective effect. A really good example of their use is on YouTube @ Again the final effect to the photo is a little over the top but is demonstrates some of the techniques used.

Thanks mate. I will certainly keep trying to capture some nice images. As I said in another post I am going to head south down the coast soon to explore some different locations.
