Well the off camera flash is around to stay. I love the look I can accomplish with it! Eric wanted me to capture some pictures of him doing one of his favorite things playing soccer.
This picture I used the same technique as I did for Chase but I used a 3 foot light reflector in front of the flash to make the light a bit softer. This time it was very over cast. It was threating to rain at any moment. We had been out shooting for about an hour and I could not seem to get the shot I wanted to get. Eric asked me if he could do some bicycle kicks. And as you can see it turned out to be a great idea.
So as I said I had an off camera flash and my 50mm 1.8. I had to get the shudder speed to something very fast so that I could capture him in mid air. So I set it at 1/500 and set the aperture at 1.8 to get the maxim amount of light while still keeping the spotlight feel that the flash gives. I had a friend come along to hold the reflector and the flash so that I wouldn’t have to position it every time. With all the pieces in the right place Eric had an amazing kick and we got the right shot!
