Standard flash techniques are interesting and very useful, but second curtain sync flash (SCSF) has amazing outcomes.

With SCSF, the flash triggers at the end of the exposure rather than the beginning which creates a trail of where a moving subject has been.

This is different to a slow shutter speed showing blurred movement. The subject is frozen with the flash at the end of the exposure so it still stays sharp.

I'd like to see your photos using this technique. Examples that would work well are dancing, sports, vehicles, toys; but any random moving object can be a good subject.

How it works

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.

Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
