The Adamski Effect was created by Josh Adamski. It\u00a0<strong>uses blur techniques to create the illusion of movement<\/strong>, while normally keeping the subject in sharp focus. I have to admit that I cheated a little with this one. Normally, the subject is part of the original picture but in the case of the photo I used, didn&#8217;t have a subject that worked. The subject of that picture is the building which if I keep that in sharp focus, there isn&#8217;t much left to blur.  <span style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-8);\">Consequently, these are two separate pictures. <\/span><a style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-8);\" href=\"https:\/\/enlighten-upmedia.com\/wlfa\/2023\/04\/29\/heathers-toronto\/\">The background is a photo that my daughter&#8217;s friend Heather took and kindly let me do some Photoshop magic to it.<\/a><span style=\"font-size: revert; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-8);\">  The little girl is a <\/span>stock image from Pexels.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the technique, you normally would select the subject and copy it to a new layer, clean up the background and apply the blur to it.  Then blend the subject back in.  This is essentially what I did except I I didn&#8217;t have to select and copy the subject.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really like the way this turned out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"685\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my first attempt at the &#8220;Adamski Effect&#8221; technique.
