Photographer: Yoshiki Nakamura, Seattle

Photo taken: March 7, Liberal Arts Quadrangle, University of Washington campus, Seattle

Photographer's description: "A group was standing still while their camera timer was engaged. I used a ND filter and slowed the shutter speed to 2.5 seconds to capture the motion of surrounding people."

Expert says: "With the use of a filter and long exposure the photographer was able to capture more than just a group portrait and early spring blossoms. The long exposure produced ghost images as people moved through the frame, making for not only an interesting idea but an unusual and captivating image."

— Barry Fitzsimmons, Seattle Times director of photography
