Rich & Heather's Wedding [4]

Rich & Heather's Wedding [4] by Scott-5x5.
This woman is one of my very best friends and my most, most favourite spaz.

Update: To answer andrastria's question, I used a great trick to get this shot... Set your camera to a long-ish shutter exposure, maybe 1/10 or even 1/3 of a second. Set your flash to rear-curtain sync if you can. In this shot, I panned with her as she ran. The background streaked because of the long exposure time, and the then flash lit her up, freezing her action at the end of the pan.

This works really well for dancing shots too, where the lights in the room streak around, but the people dancing aren't blurred, stopped in some usually goofy dance pose.

This is a great shot. Not sure how I missed it earlier. Thanks for the explanation on making it. I think the timing of the flash probably makes a big difference and unfortuneately my camera does not do that, but I may try a shot like this to see how it comes out. Have a blessed and merry Christmas.

I was just thinking I should have pulled some second curtain exposures with a weak flash on a previous photo session I had. Thanks for nudging me along in that direction.

So glad people have taken how this was made for their own, that's great! The more shots like this in the world, the merrier.
