Apeldoorn, THE NETHERLANDS
I got to do a fun workshop / demo at a "strobist" festival organized by a Dutch camerastore (www.cameratools.nl). They provided me with some cool skaters and a small ramp.
LIGHTING INFO:
For the second setup we wanted to make a shot of both skaters. The background was underexposed for a dramatic effect. I really wanted to spotlight each skater separately but that's not easy to do with moving subjects. So I decided to give them both a Lumopro flash to light themselves. A third flash behind and slightly over the camera was held by a participant and aimed at the skateboards for some fill.
