Yesterday, I shot pictures of a time trial organised by Team MK in Hanslope. I used the second curtain synchro on camera dedicated flash Canon 580EX Mark2 due to the poor weather. This makes the motion before the flash look more realistic. The second curtain synchro is when the flash fires just before the shutter closes on a long exposure. This makes moving objects sharp and the motion blurred. Here, you can see that the front of the biker is sharp but the back is slightly blurred as we are already starting to see the effect. To achieve this, I used slow shutter synchro 1/60 second. Had I used a slower speed setting, ie 1/15 second then the clothing would have left a "trail" behind him.
