Urban Fill Flash

I had an absolute blast shooting in Atlanta. I shot from the 17th Street Bridge over I85. While the photographs that I have probably don't fit the definition of "fill flash," they are definitely cool. I took mostly 2.5 second exposures, bringing in the city lights, and flashed my subject with my 580. The effect was an image reminiscent of a double exposure. Since the subject was only lit for a split second, the ambient light (that I exposed for with my shutter speed) filled the space where my subject had been, rendering a ghostlike image. Check out the rest of my images on Flickr.
