Went out for an errand tonight and took an e-bike (electric bike with a sidecar) going downtown. I thought I can get a good motion blur capture of the road as the e-bike rolled concrete floor. Turning on the "night mode", I took some shots which did not go well except this one, at least IMHO ;-)

Night mode with a smartphone camera makes it possible by slowing down shutter speed to get enough light. It is imperative that you do not move the device until it completes its shot. If you want to get the motion blur effect, shake the phone slightly just as soon as the camera takes the shot. If you want deeper motion blur effect, shake the phone a little bit stronger while pointing to the subject. I just tried this on my phone and these are photos I got. The first one is, I think, my best shot. The rest of the photos are shown here are ordered from "ok" to "horrible" shots.

My Best Shot

And The Rest of Them...

Photo #2 - Didn't shake the phone at all. I was riding a "pedicab" driven in manual mode.

Photo #3 - Still no camera shake

Photo #4 - And this one, too. No camera shake but in a moving pedicab using "night mode" on my camera phone.

Photo #5 - This one with phone being shaken...
