Party Girl

I achieved this effect using a slow-sync flash so that the features can be clear enough with the firing of the flash. The aperture then stayed open long enough to soak up the light from the background so that the blurs give a sense of movement.

It definitely helped that the rest of the frame was generally filled with people wearing dark coloured clothes.

Note to self while using slow sync: need to watch out for the background light and the aperture speed so that light trails will not deface the subjects.
