Glad I got your mind ticking over Hugo .. I could sum up what I do by saying all I am doing is filling up the frame with light, who cares what it looks like as long as it is relatively colourful and pleasing to the eye!
The above link needs registration but it only takes a few seconds and you wont be spammed. If you like the above image then there are more examples of the same taken on the night.

Hi Shane, Thanks for the reply. The link you've sent me requires a login and password....
I appreciate the technical data, too. The fill flash - motion shots I've taken so far all had a much shorter shutter-speed (1/8 to 2 seconds) at a much higher flash intensity... I think that makes the difference, as with the settings I've used, the surroundings play a more important role in the photo (disregarding the fact that in such short interval I would never have the chance to tilt the camera).
You really managed to get my mind rocketing off. I have to think of that extensive shutter-speed.... Thanks for the inspiration!
Cheers,
hugo

Hi Hugo,
The D100 gives me noise for any exposure over 6 seconds so I'm always at a loss there! I suppose in a lot of ways the colour was never going to be accuarte on the above, it was too dull and had I have went for totoal accuracy the tones would have been muddy. Equally,I found that leaning towards tones, other than blue, made the image look a bit fake. I weighed up my options and went with the blue hue mainly because it contrasted nicely with the rich yellow light from the buildings. I fully agree with you on the saturation - it can be used to extreams - however in this case it seems to give a wow factor to people viewing - this is another reason why I ran with it. Feel free, if you have the time, to whip it off this site and play with it to see what you come up with. I'd be interested to see what you would do with it.
As always thanks for the constructive comments.
Rgds,
Shane

thanks very much Hugo - you are the best critquer on this site! .. The fill flash was set at -3 stops and I also difused it! It was pretty much a minimal "tip" of light to freeze the subject. You can see more of these images at ..

Hi Shane, I dig the concept here, the excessive blue tones add to the atmosphere, using the slow shutter-speed to soften the water, and adding the suspense to the atmosphere. Not sure if it's due to the UF image handling or the post-processing, but the blue hue is just a tad too saturated and extreme. It starts to show the noise in the brighter spots.. I think desatureating the cyan levels a bit, as well as decreasing their brightness, and at the same time increasing the yellows, reds and magenta levels would balance the tonal range a tad more.... Hue/saturation is a very powerful tool, but as with any photoshop feature, easy does it...
Nevertheless a very strong and powerful shot, with an extremely strong feel!
Cheers,
hugo

WOW. The epiphany of dynamism, motion and tension/trance. For advertisement/promotional purposes,, I really believe this is grand! Reading your about, I think the camera handling and technical merit comes scarily close to a perfect photo. Very, VERY impressive, and I'm not being nice here. I've had my fair share of practice with fill flashes and long exposures, but I've never matched this!
Top Notch shot, Shane!
Cheers,
Hugo

I like the athmosphere of the blue light, you could keep shooting with this technique with variations of light - just a pity its such a long drive.

Very beautiful long exposure image, I saw the streak of light,then read your about on the fishing boat...I really like the effect of the water with the long exposure, the rocks in the forground provide a perfect natural frame, and your black wide frame complements the image very well. An image to be proud of for sure! Regards,Bill C.

A wonderfully vibrant image. It's just popped up as a DoD image, for which congrats are certainly in order - but UF seems to be running on a different clock to me today as I've spotted quite a few other DoDs in the last few hours (not to mention PoDs and SCs)...
