My first time seeing this technique (that I can recall) and it has very interesting results. Like both of your photos, but #1 is especially captivating.
Good job! :thumbup:

Thanks. If I hadn't cut off her head in #2 that one might have been decent. I checked out some of the photographers Docrob mentioned and they have some really good examples if you want to look into it more.
Fun technique, but i can see it is going to take a lot of practice.

Love #1 great job! What program did you use for the HDR?

Didn't use HDR. I think there's a dose of Topaz Adjust in there, though.

Having trouble figuring this one out. What is moving - the person or the camera (as in panning)? Would you mind explaining your technique? #1 is awesome! Thanks.

The person is moving, I am not. Used a slow shutter speed with flash as rpavich figured out. The camera captures the movement and the flash then stops it.
This is my first try and most were just blurry, and hopefully I can get better with practice, but I suspect there is also a great deal of luck involved.

Very very interesting shots.
So is this a slow shutter speed combined with flash?

Yes, used flash. Good observation :-)

Slow shutter speed, subject in motion, flash, and hope it worked!

Try changing the flash to the other shutter curtain firing to get movement in the other direction.

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like a good idea. I am using an on-camera flash and don't have that capability yet, but a new flash is on my list and I will give it a shot as soon as I am able.
Thanks again!

I find it very captivating. As you say , every now and then you get a brilliant one. I use a slow shutter speed , combined with flash and then also give the lens a 'tweak' to the left or rigt - makes for interesting images (especially at night with lights and landmarks..)

I took these at a party... yet another technique. I used 1-2 second exposures (f/5 ISO 100) with available party lighting. I pointed at the party lights and started moving my camera as I started the exposure and then approximately half to 3/4 of the way through the exposure I held the camera still on the main subject(s).

Hi Bruce - very nice. Projects a party-atmosphere with the 'streamer'- effect...will definitely try that at the next clan-gathering. Thnx 4 sharing.(The attached photo had been taken - long exposure , focussing on the main subject , then halfway through , turning the lens manually to the left or right a little bit..)

Interesting effect. Like the idea. All sorts of fun things to try...
