Location: Hilton Head Island, SC

 This shot used 3 lights total, two on either side of the main subject, me, with nothing but six inch reflectors. One on an umbrella aimed at the other end of the table to light the balls. I only left the model light on the one that lit the balls, this is how I as able to keep myself sharp, but allow the balls to get some blur. It was too bad that that harsh line was created on the table but, it looked much better than when I was blurry, and everything was lit even.

This is a really cool look that isn't seen much with the new, faster cameras. I think the blur adds to your photograph and the colors are very vibrant and attention grabing.

Very nicely done. Everything in this photo works very well together. I do wish that the emblum was a bit higher up in the image to make it stand out a bit more.. That's a bit of a nitpick though.

In this case, the motion blurs are a distraction.

Nice shot (& break). The difference in bumper shadows at the borders gives me a slightly off balanced feel and there seems to be a slight right tilt. I love the overall concept and execution. Good luck.

Nice POV and exposure. I'm not sure what the product is but a tighter crop that displays the trademark plaque better would resolve this. I.E. Wider angle closer.

Excellent idea, would've liked it better with a couple of friends hanging out in the background having a good time while the guy shoots. Color balance is a bit warm for my taste.
