Recently, I was assembling a few galleries and found a few shots that Sol shot and wanted to share with you.  Let this be a little motion motivation for you :)  Here are 3 frames where a flash helped act as the shutter and freeze the action involved, just enough so the ambient and movement patterns would leave a ghosting look.  This technique is easy to follow, drag shutter, add flash :)   low power flash preferably.

She has done very well capturing motion or the sense of motion which directly puts the viewer in the seat of the action.   How much motion have you been shooting lately?   I found myself getting a little crazy with motion and using flash so I wanted to add a little shot to my motion post as well.

ISO 1000  1/50th at 2.8  

Sol shot this one with a little lens barrel effect.

ISO 100 1/40th 2.8

I shot this one on Saturday, 11/8/08.  I liked SO many from this wedding that I decided to send them to the hotel yesterday...  Besides the hotel manager, you will be the first to see this photo.  We will finish the editing on this wedding over the next 3-4 weeks... more to come!

ISO 500 2.2 at 1/25th.   The flash and subtle camera movement combine together well.  They look like they are floating almost.

Hope these inspire you to move your camera, zoom your lens, run around, do something fun with the camera and flash when shooting to emphasize movement!

cheers,
