Assignment: Blur

GBH at Anhinga trail very late in the day and not much light at all Even with the high ISO has to go to a slower than normal shutter speed but liked the effect

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Hey Mr. Forns,
This looks like a "Klingon Bird of Prey", on a mission...and you caught him just in time before he went into cloaking mode...:eek::D:D...I love the capture angle, and the color rendition...good show...:cool:

Looks like he is really moving fast. Great panning at a non-traditional angle. Works very well

Hi Alfred, I really like the diagonal tracking of the subject to add to the feel of motion. Tracking a moving subject takes some practice to get right, and for me there's always an element of luck in achieving a great result.

This image brings to mind a question for me. Do you know if your camera was set for 1st curtain flash or second curtain flash? It looks like first to me as the blur seems to be after the flash exposure.

Thanks,

The pose and diagonal lines make this image feel like a dive for prey at night, really nice captured.
