Hello, I was wondering if anybody new how to take a longexposure action shot. Where you get your subject still while still having a long exposure background like stars. Here is an example.

only if your flash duration is long. Speedlights have really short durations.

Also, you have to frame your subject against a perfectly dark sky or portion of your frame, or you subject will be poorly defined

 
I've always wanted to do this, one of the sickest things you could do with long exposures imo.
 
The photog is grant gunderson

I thought I heard that this shot was one exposure
 
Yeah I was thinking that it could be shopped, but it is way to clean to be shopped. I couldn't find the actual photo, it was just a shot of my screensaver.
 
got ya.

I was pretty certain that Grant said it was one exposure as well. I never understood how there was no ghosting in the skier as even the shadows in the other part of the image had some ambient orange light in them. I figured he had used something to cover that part of the frame by covering part of the lens
