Hell of a turndown... tremendous timing.... or is it burstmode? (dont think so cause you are using a flash...)

Thanks man, & yeah, single shot all the way... burst is gay, only use it for sequences... good timing is as important as good lighting & composition IMO.

totally agree burst is g*y. Nice work

burst isnt gay untill you know how to make a good photo:P

ericpalmer (Aug 22, 2010 at 4:38)

nah, it's still gay! learn properly & take 1 shot that counts! haha If you really struggle just watch videos & try & pause at the right time

i do not struggle, LOL. but sometimes, it comes in handy, lets say with a slow camera.

I don't know any slow cameras with burst tho...

Dude I try to tell my buds to just time it and take 1 shot (when it's my turn to have a photo), they can't time worth crap! But of course I'll get good ones of them

Even with little crappy PandS cams, you can still time it pretty good if you can half-push the shutter.

And for a split second I though you photoshopped that photo into this one: www.pinkbike.com/photo/5484629
