Image Bank- Slow Sync

This image bank shows a slow sync technique. Most of these shots are shot in low light, with a flash and a slow shutter speed once again. These shots appear to work best in conditions where the colours are generally darker which creates a large contrast in the brightly coloured objects within the photo. This is mostly done by makng the movements more dramatic than they originally were and moving the camera manually in order to create the effect. I like this technique, and when I shoot it I need to ensure my photos are planned in order to create an original shot from this.

The top photo uses a quite dramatic blur that blurs the whole of the background out, and keeps the subject in the focus sharpened. It looks as if the subject in this photo is holding the camera himself and spinning round in order to produce such a blur. It may also be enhanced for example with a gaussian blur on Photoshop, it also adds a shallow depth of field to the photo. Although this photo is not unique, the expression on the subjects face makes you wonder what he is thinking and makes it more interesting as a photo.

I also like the fourth photo in this list, as it appears that it is taken of a fiesta type event and possibly in a different culture than the UK. It also shows movement that would occur on such an event, and there are particular flags and hand movements that are blurry due to the slower shutter speed and as a result of movement. I like the brighter colours in this photo also, as there are a lot of reds and greens which are usually used in colourful displays such as this. There is also a statue in this photo, which makes you wonder where it is taken it could also be recognisable for some audiences but it creates a sense of mystery to those who do not recognise where it is from.
