p.1 #1 · Slow Shutter Speed Hummingbirds- Motion Blur

Had a bit of fun trying something different. For those who always like tack sharp images, well this won't be your cup of tea

.

Did a bit of an experiment with slow shutter speeds and flash trying to capture some of the movements of the birds.

For those interested I have included the exif . I was using one on camera speed light , manual mode, 1/32 to 1/64 power , and slow speed sync.

Thank you for looking and hope you enjoy this little experiment in motion blur.

Any suggestions on this technique and how to improve are greatly appreciated.

1, 4 and 7 are my picks Roberta. This type of work is a lot of fun to do. If you keep at it you will begin to be able to predict what the images you take will look like.
