Mountain Biking - IOM

[manxman]

Took these on Monday night in a local plantation - making use of these light evenings now!

Does the effect of rear sync flash and a dead slow shutter speed work for these?

ace, 2 and 3 seem the best outcome

Cool, was the SB600 on camera? I'm off mountain biking at the weekend and planning on taking a few shots...

Yeh I like those. Thinking of coming over for the IOM end to end in September...

Are you sure you had rear-sync set correctly? These don't appear to be rear-sync as the motion blur goes the wrong way.

Agree - these don't look like 2nd curtain sync shots.

Sorry I have not replied sooner to your posts.

Craikeybaby - Yes, the SB600 was mounted on the camera (Nikon D50).

Freester - The E2E is a great event, I have done it myself about 4 times. Never did it last year and it turned out to be a nice little earner :D

Garry79/CT - I am certain it was set to rear sync as that was what the camera body was telling me.

Could it be due to the low shutter combined with panning that has created the trails?? :thinking:

With rear or 2nd curtain sync, any secondary image or blurring from a slow shutter speed would be behind the main subject - not in front.

Did you set rear curtain sync on the camera and the flashgun?
