Shifting an image in numpy

There's no other way, as to handle negative and positive shifts accordingly:

non = lambda s: s if s<0 else None
mom = lambda s: max(0,s)

ox, oy = 100, 20

shift_lena = numpy.zeros_like(lena)
shift_lena[mom(oy):non(oy), mom(ox):non(ox)] = lena[mom(-oy):non(-oy), mom(-ox):non(-ox)]

You can use roll function to circular shift x and y and then zerofill the offset

def shift_image(X, dx, dy):
    X = np.roll(X, dy, axis=0)
    X = np.roll(X, dx, axis=1)
    if dy>0:
        X[:dy, :] = 0
    elif dy<0:
        X[dy:, :] = 0
    if dx>0:
        X[:, :dx] = 0
    elif dx<0:
        X[:, dx:] = 0
    return X
