Simulating evening light [lack of better things to do]

2009may25_6790wExperimenting with a cool white-balance and warm light source to simulate evening sunlight at a really slow shutter speed to help blur and burn-in the background ambient light.

Worked pretty well.

Would like to do some portraits [real people] with a similar lighting setup and even move and shake the camera a bit more than I did here.

Actually I’d be aiming to use this sort of a setup/background where the immediate area lit by flash is in good focus and the background blurs out with the movement. This shot was taken with a partially open door and the background are windows lit from the outside with natural light. The warmed-up flash keeps the foreground natural and warm and anything not lit by the flash goes cool blue including what is lit with the natural light. The background [windows] blurred out by moving the camera laterally…. nice!
