Oh awesome! I love long exposure photography, it's always a lot of fun. That came out really cool. c:
Basically for this picture I had my lovely assistant,
kalida, sit in a chair with her arm outstretched. I put her wrist and hand in the frame using a tripod (since this is a study of wrist joint movement), and had a strobe with a softbox off to the side. The room has to be pitch black for this to work correctly. The background is black felt fabric; I tried paper but it reflected too much light.
I set the shutter to bulb and manually popped the strobe for each position of her hand, then closed the shutter. That's it. ^^ The image as presented is turned sideways, I took it as a vertical shot.
For editing I just desaturated using channel mixer and made a levels mask to do some dodging on her arm. The challenge with this kind of photography is that the portion that's in the same position in all the strobe-fires (her arm) ends up a lot brighter than the rest of the positions.
