Ho i see! My camera can do this too! I see it can give very nice effect for action!
I try it to catch the difference when i follow cars in action note... But i didn't explore that much more the effect...
Yes it give the the neon a very special look too!
Good idea!

Hi ToM, I have heard about the Danube doing what it hadn't done so badly for years - were you and your property ok? You have been missed...
Good capture here, the man is flying! Bravo!

Tail grab?
That is hard thing to do.
I know the guy who grabs his skateboard tail and then he turns around for 360° in the air.
He is great skateboarder.
I like your shot cose we can see that he don't know you are shooting him. ;)

Hi Tom, Mmm... you must be very close on the subject with your Super Fisheye lens! Great achievement with flash light in slow shutter in action. I like the transparents effect & the motion blur result!

Brilliant shot Tom,

I tend to use second sync flash with band photography never thought of trying it out with my skate subjects but looks like it has created a extra sense of movement to this shot.

Nice to be back among old friends
