Tonight I went out with the express purpose of getting some star trails. Turns out it was too bright still, even at 10pm, to get these. So I had to improvise.
Today's shot is of a sailboat at night. I set up and took this as a straight on night shot. My exposure was 6 seconds, and the boat is floating, so it was really blurry. So I got out my speedlight and fired it off just before the shutter closed, emulating a rear curtain flash.
The end result is it froze the boat and still let the ambient night light in.
24-70mm lens at 24mm. f/6.3 at 6 sec. ISO is 800. Manually fired handheld flash, but the camera is on a tripod.
