Rear Curtain Riding

Rear Curtain Riding

This couple wanted pictures of themselves on this bike because they love riding together.  As soon as they mentioned it I thought of this idea.  I set the camera to 1/10 of a second and set the flash to fire at the end of the exposure (rear curtain.)  Then I moved the camera as I opened the shutter and poof, this gem of a photo came out.  I love how the lights in the background streak across the frame while the camera's flash stops the couple in motion so that they are in focus.  If your camera has a rear sync function I highly suggest messing around with it.
