Knapp Imaging

No matter how good a photographer you are, there will always be photos that are less than what you hope for in quality.  When shooting sports, the problem is often blurriness.  In some cases, in fact, the only thing wrong with a given photo is that it is blurry.  The composition, exposure, etc. may be completely fine, but the shutter speed was set too low, or you didn’t hold quite as still as you should have.

In this case, there are a variety of approaches you can use to “recover” a photo.  For instance, there are sharpening tools that give you some level of recovery, but cannot overcome a really blurry image.

Another entirely different approach is to “embrace” the blurriness of the image by way of a special-effect.  Many such effects are available as “actions” in PhotoShop, and one such supplier of these actions is Addicted To Design.

Take a look at the “before” and “after” images below, to see what a well-designed special effect can achieve!
