actually this one is done with a remote control. There are more complex methods as well, soon to come...

Not photoshopped at all. Rear-curtain sync with 2 flashes at sunset. Alot of work, alot of patience.

It's shot at 1/30 second (pretty slow) with the camera on a tripod so there's lots of motion blur from the rider going fast. The black areas on my back are from where the exposure started and the rest of the bike and rider is where the flashes went off at the end of the exposure and froze most of the rider in time. You can see through the shorts and parts of the handlebar since these areas didn't receive enough light from the flash to get completely exposed. It's kinda tricky to explain, so just do a Google search for "rear-curtain sync".
