Helpful Posts: I shot a series on this drummer...
He was putting so much energy into his performance that I decided to try some images with slow shutter speeds to accentuate the movement and energy. They were shot using between 70mm and 115mm on a crop 7D camera...

Re: Slow Shutter Speed
Nice efforts, the best ones are those with the lead drummer having some level of acceptable sharpness.

Re: Slow Shutter Speed
Really difficult to capture. He was hopping around as well as banging in the drum...
When I was in Istanbul, I wanted to shoot a Sufi Dancer (Whirling Dervish) performance using a slow shutter speed. But, I couldn't find a performance at a convenient time and place.

Re: Slow Shutter Speed
Nice set Richard, movement in portraiture is an excellent dimension to add and tricky too, I also like your top pick.

Re: Slow Shutter Speed
Thank you all... Although I have been snapping the shutter on various cameras for more years than I care to remember, I have not often tried deliberately shooting with a slow shutter speed. IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS
