I’m an amateur photographer, just got my first dSLR at the beginning of the year. I’m a musician so I mostly enjoy shooting bands. Shooting big arena shows is a thrill, but I really love the gritty low-lit bar scene. It’s more of a challenge and allows me to play around more. I absolutely LOVE slow-sync flash stuff, and my friend that’s been my go-to guy from the start with all my questions shoot a LOT of it. The thing is, we shoot a lot of the same clubs in the same town, and he wont give up his “secrets” to slow sync flash shots. I understand the idea behind it, but I’m having trouble really nailing it down when i try. I’m shooting with a Nikon d3100 with a Nikkor 50mm 1.4G lens and an SB-600. I’m putting it in shutter priority and setting it down from anywhere to 1/10th to 1/60th and really not having any luck. I’ve got my flash mode on Rear, and my speedlight set to TTL and on the default settings. Anybody have any tips?? Oh, I’m using the built in diffuser on the SB-600 and have also tried using some 1-ply toilet paper as an alternative. I’m just not getting the wanted effect.. any help would be very much appreciated!!

recently discovered the slow sync flash and its great, I now have to get a lot more practice in and then perhaps I might have something worthy of these photos …

In the 4th image with the water droplets, how were the trails captured? I’ve seen this before and have not been able to duplicate it.

To me, the image by Russel is the best image of the set. There is motion blur in the non-portrait portion of the picture, and the portrait is still crisp. Great example.
