I was trying to shoot an action shot of my friend skateboarding, but got this ghosting/blur on it. I know it's not a good image, it was my first time shooting action, but how can I set my camera/flash settings to freeze the action without the blur? What's causing the blur? I was shooting at f/3.5, 1/30s, ISO 320, 14mm focal lenth, and a camera mounted speedlight/flash. Is it possible to get the ambient light to give context to the shot and freeze the action with the flash? Do I need a flash that cuts off sharply when it's peak is reached?(with the T.1/T.5 values and such?) I was using a cheap Neewer NW-561 speedlight/flash. Thanks for any help.
