Combine rear curtain flash with a slow shutter speed to capture a surreal image. The slow shutter speed will pick up a motion trail behind your subject and the rear curtain flash will freeze him or her in place at the end of the exposure (rather than the beginning, which is what most cameras do by default). This is one of those techniques that requires a lot of experimentation and a ton of wasted frames. Keep shooting, though, and you'll be rewarded with a good handful of one-of-a-kind shots.
