I found this on youtube and thought it may be interesting to Long Exposure enthusiasts. I haven't tried it yet but will have a go soon. It isn't mentioned on the video that rear curtain sync. could be used but I think it may be a good idea to try it. I would be interested in the opinions or results of anyone who does this.

Aw, thanks. I tried the system briefly on the beach and it worked. I was hand holding a big lens and my subject, the dog, was moving a little. I only used 1/25 s because it was a bright day but normally I wouldn't be able to get focus in that situation. I tried a 1 second exposure and while the action was frozen the photo was obviously 'blown out', I need to play more with it - so much to do and learn :) :). As you know, flash helps to freeze the subject in macro work too.

Thanks for the link!
This is a great technique to learn and keep in your repertoire!

Rear curtain sync isn't absolutely necessary, but it makes a big difference if there is anything moving that has a beginning and end.

Like tail lights, when using first curtain sync, the lights will be be in front of the vehicle, or where it's going. Rear curtain sync puts them behind the vehicle, where it just came from.

I don't normally shoot many car lights, but I do like to shoot fire dancers :-)

When the motion completes a revolution, it makes little difference between first or rear curtain. But, if there is a starting point and and point, it makes a huge difference.
