I think the point people are loosely making is... why have the flash firing at you? You're going to be illuminating the wrong side of everything anyway... You could create the dramatic shadows with the flash out of frame.

I actually found that having the flash there helped illuminate him a fair bit better. Its quite deceptive too, the flash isnt actually behind him, if it were the rider would be "glowing", its actually infront and to the left of him. The shot was also @ 10mm and the way I had it set up (so that it would appear to be very dark, almost like night) it was impossible to frame the shot without having the flash in the frame.

Ah well, you cant please everyone, this is something Im learning more and more as I continue to take photos.

Oh yeah, I finally got all my new kit.
I haven't had a chance to do any real shooting, but I was walking around tonight and found some leftover artwork on the ground.

I know it's not the best shot, I'm still getting the hang of the 40D, and I didn't really tweak the settings for the shot, but yeah, it's a more interesting test shot than a flower.



Thoughts?

Just wondering if there was any way to get a Flickr account without having to get a Yahoo email adress? I'm so over PhotoBucket,

Hmmm that explains it then. I like the photos (i should have mentioned that first :p) but it just seems like an odd place to put the flash.

It's a camera mate. You take pictures with it ;)

Actually, question time. I have a cheapy Hoya Skylight on the end of my Sig 10-20. Often, I'm getting a little lens flare though it and I wonder if it is just the nature of wide angle lenses or the cheap filter element?

I think he is dead.


Sam I love it! Probably the best from you ever! Closely followed by IMG_0046_0048_fixeded2 on flickr.

Yeah thanks heaps Ben, super stoked about them. Should get out to re-shoot at the same location (different riders maybe) in the next week or so, so I'll have to scout some new uber angles and stuff. <3
