hehehehe
yeah, even two [:
but come on... this trails are sooo deep in the shade, that it would be impossible to shoot without the strobes

i am starting to like using the flashes [when they are working properly!]

Whats ur settings. You pull so much background info without blowing the rider out to much! Mine is always so dark.

i remember i fired them on 1/4 and 1/8 depands on the place...
mine bg would be dark as well, but what you see here are strong sunrays and this is what gives such a nice illusion of depth

Yeah i was looking at it more! Still dark spots , but over all it looks good! Plus the full frame helps. hahahah!

See, i use vivitar flashes so the lowest i can go is 1/4, must be nice to go down to 1/8!

nice pic lunatyk!!!!!

thank you,,, i am happy how great it turned out in the final effect...
my fish is canon 15mm 2.8
do not forget that you have to have fullframe for the best distortions and full 180degrees angle

i just run the lowest f number i can get away with, it helps to get in more of the ambient light

flag lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:14)
i see, but this shot is on 3.5,,, yeah, i could go on with 3.2, even 2.8, but this would be to risky and have the rider out of focus

anyway, tom,,, you know how dark is there... it is almost like a basment made of trees hehehe
