I took this a while back in Grand Central Station, NYC. I used an IS lens to help create the blurring motion of the commuters passing by.

With the IS lens I was able use a shutter speed of 1/6 sec., the violin players are reasonable sharp since they stand still, but you can see their hands are blurry.
