2 second exposure stroboscopic flash.
Edit: 17/10/2007 - 10/17/2007
As was pointed out by another member the exposure was 3.2 seconds.
The shutter was open for 3.2 seconds, the flash sequence however was 10 stroboscopic flashes that lasted 2 seconds the remainder of the exposure was in total darkness, so technically not really exposure, the remaining 1.2 seconds is the amount of time it took me to open and close the shutter.
Thank you to everyone that is commented and faved, my apologies for not being able to thank you all individually (would take forever)
Thank you for the Daily Deviation, the shot is far from perfect, but I have planed to do more at some point, practice makes perfect (hopefully)

You're welcome, This one [link] is probably more "normal" again very similar process and settings, I think the stroboscopic capture is interesting, but not done a great deal of it and far from perfecting the technique, hope you have fun with it anyway.

I love this! I never heard of this stroboscopic flash before!
I am going to study!!!
this is really amazing!
love your work!

Thank you.
Mostly only the higher end flash guns have this feature, usually called Multi mode or something similar.
You can do it pretty much with anything that moves.
There is another variant here [link]
It is possible to do it manually with any flash gun that can recycle quick enough but doesn't have a multi feature, but of course you don't have the precise timing control.

I am new in photography, I always loved photography but only recently I started to take it a bit more serious, I am thinking about buying some studio lights and stuff to start a little thing at home...you know.. so that can play around and stuff
Can I ask you for advice? what kind of lights should I buy 1st, softboxes or umbrellas? what should I pay attetion to when I buy these?
π: 0 β©: 1
Big question really, so many variables, best place to start is your budget, Om not really a fan of umbrellas for most situations but that can be handy, I think if I was starting out (easy to say) , I would be looking for at least two head kit with either one Softbox and one Umbrella or a two Softbox kit and an Umbrella as an optional accessory.
There are lots of kits out there, the budget kits can be quite good, but of course wont withstand heavy use as well as the more expensive ones nor have the build quality or durability.
Something else to consider is the fitting, one of the more popular fittings is the S bayonet and there are hundreds of third party accessories available when you want/need to expand.

Wonderful image!
Strobing iz one of my fav'rite raw photo fx methods. I use a cheap strobe light as I dont have any exotic equipment. If u hav the time, pleez critique a few of my uploads that I used this method to create: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]
Thank you

AMAZING idea! It came out so cool! I almost want to try that... too bad I have no real photograph equipment. I have a nice digital camera, but that's about it. :/
Anyway, I faved it in a second. Good job.

Thank you, glad you like it.
You can use any flashgun that supports stroboscopic firing to do this, it doesn't have to be brand specific as you fire it off camera manually.

Simon mind if i asked what kind of strobes you used for this?
π: 0 β©: 1
Canon 580EX off camera, although any flash gun with a strobe setting will do the same job.

wow--that is amazing...
rather India-mythos-esque...and that's a good thing.

so ill be 693rd or something like that faver and commentator

Yeh its far from perfect, its had little work except curves and a little sharpening, it was pretty much an experiment, I put it up to gauge opinion, I never expected a DD thatβs for sure
The body and face are too soft really to get a print from, perfect world, more space to work in and model moving through the frame, as the soft issues come from a static face/body, moving arms and a longish exposure, hopefully one day I will find a venue big enough and dark enough to produce a better one.
Thanks for your comments and input.

youre welcome. keep trying and looking for space. i know youll do something even better if you have it

Just to let you know your deviation was featured in this news article: [link]
Congratulations on the DD!!!

Thank you, and thank you for the feature.

Sooooooo well done. I'm amazed at the equal spacing between the "ghosts" of the arms, it makes it look beautiful! I've heard of this technique, but you've used it very very well.
Thank you for posting something so beautifully original.

I do like this, it works well. The glow of the model compliments the photo, I'm just trying to decide whether the hair colour does or not...
π: 0 β©: 1
Not much I can do about hair colour, thats could be like saying green apples might look better a different colour

this is something good.
Usually i come in this section to see some boobs... but sometimes i found something artistic, like this.

Thanks for the comment.

Very beautiful. The use of exposure is excellent.

Congrats on the DD! It's a gorgeous photo, and a damn cool method (I so want to try it now!).

Thank you, you should try it.
Over 8.5k views though, thats madness

Arg, they qutoed my typo 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes it certainly has been very popular, over 5000 views (I am pretty shocked by that) and 4000 profile page views, this place is busier than I thought!
You can tell your husband that it took three attempts, 1 practice run, 1 almost and the final one which you see. The image itself came out pretty much as intended, although you are never quite sure how these things will work out, or even if they ill work out at all. Some do and some don't. This one did I think
Thank you again.
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, set it to scroll 3 lines and turn the wheel back and forth for a cool effect

he seems impressed you did it in 3 shots ^_^ me too. If i actually had the skills to do that i'd proably have annoyed the model by doing it 100s of times
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't worry about your "actual" skills try it and learn new skills, (your own photographic evolution) you don't need a model, any moving object animate or inanimate, as long as there is motion, even something simple like an ice cube falling will do to practice on.

This strobe flash creates really interesting effects. But how did you manage no to overexpose non-moving parts?
π: 0 β©: 1
The combined flashes make up the correct (ish) exposure for the body and head etc, the arms are slightly under exposed as a result.

Nice, this one is reeeaaally nice. I like the light on her, that she's sort of glowing.

the red haired european mode| flaps its arms 3 times per second which is the equivalent to the american robin. this remarkable species mostly feeds on fruit, vegitables, and some meat.
beautiful creature indeed. let's leave her exactly the way we found her.
