Dominoes take 2



So as I was posting my dominoes photos earlier it hit me how I could get more of that "ghost" image to show by increasing the amount of ambient light (natural light in the room) hitting the dominoes. So I opened up the blinds to let more light into the room and took another go at it. I really like the one where the dominoes are more facing the camera but also included another side shot as it shows the effect real well.

Well D is for Dominoes. I did these with a slower shutter speed and the flash set to rear sync so it would go off just before the shutter closes, making the last fraction of a second frozen in the frame. The slower shutter speed combined with the rear sync flash left a slight ghost image of the domino as it fell.
