Voted.Thanks, Allen! I love how that turned out, but the face isn't quite as sharp as I would have preferred. I want to print one of these large for my studio, and I'll probably go with the composite that's somewhat similar.
Hey Ron, again just a great job on these. And the face in 1 not being all that sharp is one of the reasons I like it so much. The motion and the feel are just right in my opinion. I wouldn't change a thing.

This is a one second exposure, but flash duration's were too long to freeze the motion better. Shot this approximate 2007-08

Thanks, James! Always fun to play with time a bit. I'd be curious to see what you came up with!
Excellent way to convey motion! Some years ago I did something similar - in terms of lighting - that involved a Strawberry, a chef's knife, and a disco strobe. Well done!

All the images here were shot at 1/3 sec, f/8, and ISO around 200 or so. We turned the house lights off for these shots. I had the flash trigger in hand, and I fired them in an effort to catch her in profile to me. These were the shots that worked out pretty well like that. I took some other normal shots of her with the house lights on, but those were just normal shots. These ones here are the ones I was really interested in from an artistic perspective.
1. This was one of the shots I was really hoping to capture. A double-exposure if you will, caught in camera, at 1/3 sec. Very little editing, no compositing.

2. This one is a composite of the main shot of her at 1/3 sec shutter, and two different motion blur shots of her at 4 sec shutter.

4. Another shot of her at 1/3 sec shutter.

5. I really liked how 3 and 4 came out, but I felt like it could be even cooler if I put them together in one image. So I composited them together like this.

These are portraits of a figure skater in motion. The figure skater, Brooke, actually competed in the US Nationals last month, and so we did a portrait session on ice at her training ice skating rink. I had two continuous lights, Light & Motion's CLx10s, on each side of her, and two Godox AD600's on each side of her as well.All the images here were shot at 1/3 sec, f/8, and ISO around 200 or so.

Exactly! It's doesn't always have to be perfectly sharp!
