We debated long and hard whether to use a single image on the cover or to create a montage. As the subject matter of the book is so, so diverse, we opted for a montage. |
A Guide to Pleasing Blurs
BIRDS AS ART Books is proud to announce the release of “A Guide to Pleasing Blurs” by Arthur Morris and Denise Ippolito. This 20,585 word, 271 page PDF is illustrated with 144 different, exciting, and artistic images. The guide covers the basics of creating pleasingly blurred images, the factors that influence the degree of blurring, the use of filters in creating pleasing blurs, and a great variety of both in-the-field and Photoshop techniques that can be used to create pleasingly blurred images.
Artie and Denise will teach you many different ways to move your lens during the exposure to create a variety of pleasingly blurred images of flowers and trees and water and landscapes. They will teach you to recognize situations where subject movement can be used to your advantage to create pan blurs, wind blurs, and moving water blurs. They will teach you to create zoom-blurs both in the field and during post-processing. Artie shares the techniques that he has used and developed for making blurred images of flocks of geese in flight at his beloved Bosque del Apache and Denise shares her flower blur magic as well as a variety of creative Photoshop techniques that she has developed.
With the advent of digital capture creating blurred images has become a great and inexpensive way to go out with your camera and have fun. And while many folks think that making successful blurred images is the result of being a sloppy photographer nothing could be further from the truth. In “A Guide to Pleasing Blurs” Artie and Denise will help you to unleash your creative self.
The book is laid out in landscape format to make for easy viewing and easy reading on any decent computer monitor.

I ordered this yesterday and read a huge chunk of it this morning. It maybe the best $33 I’ve spent on photography in a long time!
My own style is crisp and sharply-focused and I’ve been thinking of adding a more artistic effect to some images. This PDF gives me way more ideas than I could possibly have come up with on my own. The images are great and so are the detailed instructions. It’s well worth buying if you’re looking to add something different to your repetoire.
My favourites? Artie’s ‘Wildebeest Jumping’ which looks like a prehistoric cave painting and Denise’s stunning ‘White Fox’.
TAT! (Thanks a ton) for your kind words Kathleen, We worked long and hard on the guide and are thrilled that you are both enjoying and learning from it. Do e-mail us some images once you get out of the box.
