I want to make a blurred baton and get the same effect as photographing it @ 1/4 second ... is this possible?

    Hi

    You could make the baton from a 3D extrusion (I used 2 extrusions - one for the handle and one for the baton then combined the 3D layers and rendered).

    Then make a copy of the render in a smart object and apply a radial blur filter to that copy. Finally rotating the blurred copy  so it appears to "follow" the baton.

    I also added an extra layer to darken the baton handle slightly on the blurred copy

    ah - things I’ve never done - your link, by the way, leads to a “page not found” on two browsers

    My link ? - I didn't include a link.

    I pasted in a screenshot which should be visible in any browser (I've just checked it in two)
