False Light

[Murtasma]

No photoshop work this was shot using the 2nd curtian flash sync. I just figured out how to do it on my Rebel XTi after all this time it never occured to me to see if my camera could do this.

Does this image work? I like the soft look of the steel and the blur that is going on in this image. It reminds me of a dream for some reason.

explain more about the curtain flash?
This is a nice abstract image even tho it seems to be leaning

I never noticed it leaning but now I do slightly. It's where the flash fires off at the end of the shutter instead of the front.

That works best for moving subjects, i guess.

ya I was moving the camera from top to bottom if you look at the light you can see a streak above it where the camera was moving.

Good idea to use slow rear curtain sync here! The result is interesting in its colors, tones and composition. It is indeed somewhat dreamy.
