Really great capture of motion. Very artistic. I love the way your flash freeze on the trees. Hats off to you for using an old manual focus film camera.

Fantastic motion capture!
I read above on how you got the effect, a bit lucky with the other guys flash as you said, but it makes a great shot nonetheless.
Do you recall what shutter speed and iso you were using?

Lucky indeed. I was probably using ISO400 film, and I remember it being quite dark in the woods, so probably a shutter of 1/30th with the lens wide open at f2.8.

Great motion blur and the lighting is realy amazing, are you using two flashes or is the light from the right natural?

There's a little bit of natural light (hence the blur), and I got lucky with a flash from another photographer (on takeoff). Couldn't have organised it better!

Really nice photo, I was going to hazzard a guess as to the course but I cant be sure so I'll keep quiet
You deffo want an external flash it makes such a difference. But using another mans flash is genius and has worked so well with that shot. Really lovely
Many thanks for the

I dunno the course name, it was over in the Ludlow - Bishops Castle area. I believe it's a permanent course, Forestry Commission land or similar.
I'll know for next time about the flash gun!
