Strobing a bike - II

[Assassin]

This was taken at the same shoot.... sorry, same bike... but I hope you like it anyway...http://www.pbase.com/barryvj171/image/126831455/original.jpg

Besides very slight edge darkening, this is straight out of the camera...

Used 2 x 580's with ST-E2 on ratio controlling both flashes....

With a shot like this, you have to avoid being in the reflection of the chrome work...

Very nice Assassin!!
The Blue against the green, is well suited.

Love it mate. I must admit that the "strobist look" is great for this kind of shot. you have kept that chrome from being too shiny too.. catch a face of it and it goes white..

Nice Job!

It is awesome!! Still can't believe how perfect an image it is - those wheels are so prefect they almost look fake!!

Great shot Barry,

It was great to bump into you at PMA earlier this year.

Is that the new home in the background? How are you enjoying Country living? Can't wait to see some of your shots from the new studio.

Beautiful shot Assasin, and that bike is a work of art.

Thanks Vickim, that's a great compliment...... I think :-)

Thanks guys for all the other comments too, and as always, very grateful for your extolments....

G'day Steve, it was good to see you too, must say the PMA was pretty average though, what did you think?.... and to be completely honest, haven't started on the studio yet, been waiting on some warmer weather.....
As for living in the country, it's great !! but believe me the cops are just as bad out here as they are in the city, maybe even worse... got busted this morning speeding.... NOT happy Jan !!

When the weather impoves i may have to dust the Bimota off and come for a spin round your way, you can show me all the cool roads...

I enjoyed PMA for what it was, i got the most from meeting Peter Coulson and attending his workshop.
