Motion Blur Frozen

Strobist Info: One small pop-up flash from a Nikon DSLR in front. So technically this is off camera flash.

I think it is interesting to see that the whole picture is defined by the intended motion blur as a result of panning. But there is also the flash of another shooter in front. I captured it as I was dragging the shutter. The flash froze part of the biker (look at the camera-left side of his upper arms and his glasses) and a huge patch of street directly in front of the wheel on camera left.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Thanks man. It's my favorite shot from the series. That's the beauty of dragging the shutter; I also got the other guy's flash as part of my exposure.

This is really great. I love the framing & the sense of motion. Did you do anything in post to get the vignetting and colors?

Mariano Kamp says:

Thank you all!

Matt, I added vignetting in post and also played with curves:

At first I thought these were shots from the Tour, at which point I would have been even more jealous. LOVE the flash detail from the other dude. Definitely a cool, unexpected element.

fantastic

Mariano Kamp says:

Stephen, you're right. I will post it to the strobist group because I think the photo is instructive as it shows how a part of the image is selectively frozen by the other guy's light.
