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

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

Yea i see what you mean, i dont think ive ever not used flash's there. As you can see from this shot: www.pinkbike.com/photo/3274130

j-brantley (Sep 24, 2009 at 11:53)

Flash?

lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 11:57)

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!]

j-brantley (Sep 24, 2009 at 11:58)

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

lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:04)

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

j-brantley (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:08)

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!!!!!

lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:11)

thanks,,, now, you can add it to your favs buehehehe

vivitar and 1/4
hmmm, i prefer canon and its 1/128 [:

Jolly-Roger (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:15)

man it looks like sunlight! soo sick!

j-brantley (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:18)

WTF! 1/128th power, are you serious!!!!???? What flashes you running? 580ex?

lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:20)

thanks, jolly that is what i am always talking about... touch a rider with the flashes, not blind him with them,,,

lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:24)

yes, j ~ 2x canon speedlight 580ex ii

j-brantley (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:29)

Damn, you have some nice gear! I really need to get some new flashes, fisheye, and light stands!

What fish do u run? Love this shot!

lunatyk (Sep 24, 2009 at 12:40)

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
