The Hitchhiker – Die Tramperin

Vertical Motion Blur is a popular technique in digital imaging and photography to add movement, dynamics and in this case a mystical mood to a photo. The concept of motion blur is simple: in photography, a longer exposure time is taken to capture movement in a photo. The longer exposure time blurs and blurs motion, resulting in a very dramatic effect. In digital image editing, this effect can be applied to specific parts of the image to draw the focus to certain elements and enhance the mystical character.

A mystical mood can be created in many ways, depending on how Motion Blur is applied. One way is to apply the effect to the entire background of the image while keeping the main character(s) in focus. In this case, the woman and the VW van. This creates a strong contrast and highlights the difference between the real world and the mystical world in the background.
