A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi everyone. I am an amauter photographer and lately I've been requested to photograph some local concerts at my city. The image linked above is one of my many inspirations, and I am very curious about this light trail technique. Is it done right at the time, is it edited later? How? If someone could help me, I'd be very thankful. :)

Shutter drag. Start your settings with 8/8/8/8 - 1/8th second SS, f/8, ISO 800 and 1/8th flash power. If it’s too bright, reduce the flash. If it’s too dark, increase the iso before anything else because too much/too bright flash gets annoying for the subject of the photo.
