most of those I wouldn't call motion blur, merely long exposure. I do quite a bit of both, motion blur to me implies a fast moving object and either panning with it:<a class="user" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3286/2466133934_9a853bb66c_o.jpg">http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3286/2466133934_9a8 ...</a><a class="user" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2048/2466131852_2d1b5f694b_o.jpg">http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2048/2466131852_2d1 ...</a>or letting it blur past, as the link did. One of those pictures on the linked page is zoom blur, something different again.

It's way less than 45 actual motion blur photos... Long exposure and motion blur are very different, so this list cheated. But, still very nice photos.
