Introduction to LUT files and Motion Blur

LUT files are extremely useful…

I was up in London a few days ago with one of my students.  We were doing a bit of street photography together and on the way to Picadilly Circus.  Just as our tube train arrived I fired off a shot, hoping to get the train blurred as it sped past the standing commuters.

Sadly, even at 1/60 sec, It didn’t get the amount of blur I wanted, so I decided to use Photoshop to recreate the effect.

The amount of additional blur I added was quite minimal and having completed that, I looked at the image and thought I’d add a LUT file or two, to bring some mood into the shot.

This tutorial takes you through my thought processes and techniques to get the final look.
