Curious to see if anyone likes this effect. . .

IS it time exposure

The old rear curtain sync on the flash makes for a very interesting picture of an everyday happening. Good thinking on this. Nice effect.

Yeah, I think it works very well - it gives the impression of a cat grooming itself at 200 mph which is somewhat amusing! :-) Worth it for the humour factor alone.

 

I use this technique when shooting mechanics working on a race car e.g pit stops in order to get the motion blur with say, a 1 second exposure and then freeze the last with 2nd curtain synch to finish off the image. Nice thing to do every now and again as it gives the impression of them being very busy! ;-)

nice use of blur

Wow! - I like this effect. It's well used with the subject matter. I'll have to experiment now with the 2nd curtain flash setting on my camera.

Beautiful!
