south park reference? lol

paulclarke (Aug 9, 2011 at 19:46)

No, home improvement.... 'Present it Al' 'I dont think so Tim'. Cue laugh track.

nouser (Aug 10, 2011 at 4:08)

ahhh i see,it's in south park to lol

andyrrrrr (Aug 9, 2011 at 0:32)

Wow, that lighting is PERFECT. Epic POD.

scottmillphotography (Aug 9, 2011 at 0:59)

He must have been flying for the front wheel to be blurry and a shutter speed of 1/250. Woww! Epic shot!

rippin-norco (Aug 9, 2011 at 1:15)

dont know why I just think this is a cool shot, the lighting is great, the rider is going fast, all in all, its just a great picture

Apoc22932 (Aug 9, 2011 at 20:14)

He fired a flash for the lighting - Max speed for sync on a remote shutter is 1/250 sec. - Hence aperture of f/10 and ISO of 125.

downhillnews (Aug 9, 2011 at 20:49)

No MAX SYNC speed of a non Canon flash is 250 unless he is using Elinchrome Ranger RX's they will go to 1000+ I think!

Apoc22932 (Aug 14, 2011 at 16:28)

You're wrong, he'll be using a remote trigger to fire the flashes. For most photographers that are out and about the easiest method of remote trigger is wireless, therefore the highest sync speed that is reliable is 1/250.

andyrrrrr (Aug 15, 2011 at 2:40)

You can use some wireless triggers in high speed sync mode to get shutter speeds up to 1/8000. Example: pocket wizard flex's and mini's. You're wrong

downhillnews (Aug 15, 2011 at 7:35)

Or he could of used a 580 OC to fire another 580 Off Camera and gone high with shutter speeds also.

andydunwoody (Aug 16, 2011 at 13:03)

Or I could have shot it using elinchrom skyports synced at 1/250 for no other reason than what came out the other end looked good!

downhillnews (Aug 17, 2011 at 14:14)

True. WHat does the new 1D IV HSS up to now? Like 2K or 1500 not sure something crazy.....

DirtboxTom (Aug 9, 2011 at 2:27)

It's the colours that make this such a great picture. The colours and the ROOST!

wideopenmag (Aug 9, 2011 at 3:02)
