Now, Godfrey, Shel or Marnie - do tell us the simpler souls how
this kind of photography is made...
It's not particularly difficult. What's difficult is timing. This is
a 1/2 second exposure, what makes the timing tricky is to nab the
exposure at the moment when one foot is near stationary so as to
capture the foot while the rest of the person blurs into
disappearance, and get a scene where the rest of the image has
something complementary. Takes practice and timing, and a steady hand
to get adequate definition.
I started doing photos like this back in 2002 with the Hasselblad...

The small-sensor LX1's image stabilization lets me run longer shutter
speeds with less camera-motion blur problems.
