EXIF: 200 ISO, 2 sec., f/4.5, 17mm focal length, no flash
Using a flash is known to freeze items in motion, whereas slow shutter speeds are known for conveying motion. You can combine the use of flash with a slower shutter speed to create unique and distinct effects. In the image shown above, the front half of the train’s engine was caught with the flash, but the rest of the train was not. It froze the engine in motion, but blurred the rest of the cars. Additionally, the street lights in the area provided a very warm color temperature.

The reason this is such a great range is that it typically creates movement and blur, but not so much so that only light trails are seen. I’ve written articles on this before, such as freezing people in movement and combining flash and slow shutter speed. […]
