13 Great Slow Sync Flash Images
This week I’d like to feature a series of images that all use a fun and striking technique called Slow Sync Flash. This technique combines a slower than normal shutter speed combined with a flash during the exposure.

Some great shots. I think this is a really nice feature, gives people a chance to have their work seen by a lot of people and makes for a nice piece on a ’slow news day’ (as it were)

Cool stuff! The knife through the apple tops my list!

The applie is cool alright, but the image of the world passing by and blowing the woman’s hair by Russell is also great. Frankly, I liked them all.

I espacily like the one by aumbody images with the “flying” drops of water and I must agree with Dave that the girl captured by Russel is very beautiful :)
These photos reminded me of another slow sync flash photo with a beautiful girl:

By the way, this technique is also commonly called “dragging the shutter,” though I am not exactly sure why. So if you hear someone talking about “dragging the shutter,” they are talking about leaving the shutter open for longer than necessary while using the flash.
If you have a sufficiently featured SLR camera, you may also be able to select between “first curtain” or “second curtain” modes, which defines whether the flash fires just as the shutter has opened or just before it closes. This has the effect of placing your flash-lit subject at either end of their motion trail in the final image.
Cheers!
