Hi @grace_underwater !
Great to see you pursuing with this technique, now applied to some bigger subjects 🙂
This is a lovely series and my favourite is number 4, a good way to stand out from all the ‘regular’ tiger shot images, with a more interesting background, and I like how the motion blur on the 2 remoras, where it feels like they’re trying to catchup with the shark.
The only suggestion I’d have to improve on that shot is keeping those highlights (sand and surface) under control. Not easy I know, but working on cloudy days / darker ambient light only helps. Re the sand, simply lift your strobes even higher up.
The challenge you have with the other shots is when the blur is “printed” on top of the sharp shark, reducing the feeling of sharpness on the shark itself (mostly from the eyes and back).
With fast moving subject, you can try and avoid that by keeping the camera still, and letting the shark do the blurring (your strobe then fires on rear curtain, as opposed to front curtain).
