Slow Sync is a technique very similar to the technique of blurring, except, rather than the entire image being blurred, a section is kept completely sharp. This technique can look effective because the contrast between the sharp section and the blurred section makes the image appear almost 3D, as the sharp part of the image stands out really vividly.
The use of colour is really important in this technique as it really helps the image to stand out, and with the blurring section of the image, they can create interesting shapes and patterns, and these are what help a photographer to draw in the attention of the viewers. Colour looks particularly effective in the firs photo here, where I would imagine the photographer has duplicated the image, changed one to black and white and then blended the two together, which I think looks really effective as it gives off a realistic 'magic' tone, which suits the topic of the actual photo itself too.
My other favourite photo here is the middle right image of the lettered dice. The use of this technique makes really interesting patterns, and with this image in particular it shows the pattern of what has happened in the past - even if it was just a few seconds beforehand. I think this is how it makes the 3D effect as it allows the last frame in the shot to stand out a lot more than the very first. The idea of movement is also interesting as this is what creates the diverse patterns in the blurring - the faster the movement, the more the image blurs and vice versa.
