I shot these at an indoor skate park. The lighting was incredibly low. I got some decent shots using the flash but a couple of times I took a shot before the flash had recharged and got some interesting results so I decided to try experimenting a bit with the slow shutter speeds.

I like these a lot myself and was wondering what others might make of them. All the blurring was done in camera and the post processing was pretty much just levels and saturation.

All comments and suggestions gratefully accepted.

I think they are pretty cool.

You might consider trying to correct the WB, at leats partially. I think the last two would especially benefit.

Thanks for the suggestion. Thats a great idea. I kind of liked the "Golden" appearnce but when I got them printed the last two looked a bit "off". Adjusting the white balance opens all sorts of possibilities. Thanks again.

I enjoy this style of photography, ya know some times things arent in focus at the time you view them

I really like the 2nd one. But as suggested before, adjusting colours would make a huge difference. Also, you could try Hue adjustements on individual channels to keep the colours you want in the image, or remove what you don't need, to create the effect.
