Shot with an overhead light on a dimmer and a desklamp. Attached a pencil to the arm-thingy (too technical?) with scotch tape so I could move it for the blur.
Took about 150 tries to get two or three that I liked. I hope to get better. Sure was fun, hope it does better in the rankings.

great motion blut and tone. one of my favorites of the challenge.bold simplicity. only knock is that the lighter band in the backround isnt parallel with the top of the frame
Quite blurry and dark feeling even though we're now in a mechanized world which moves back and forth in good speed. So some more exposure and perhaps a bit more thought for the background if there's anyway to enhance it's support for the main theme might make this better. Nice idea, in any case!
