I had a small gig shooting in a bar the other night, and tried out some shutter drags for the first time. They're easy to do but hard to get right I've discovered. Need more practice. Comments welcome.

    Cool results Joel!
    Really like #4 & #5 as funky portraits.
    IMO, the Gents in #2 and #3 were too serious... :D
    Willing to describe your technique?

    Thanks, Eric. Use a slow shutterspeed, say 1/4 to 1/2 second with a flash. When you release the shutter, either zoom or rotate the camera. The flash freezes your foreground subject and everything else gets blurred.
