Shreddin the Gnar
Self portrait of me gleaming the cube out front of my house. I had come up with the idea of attaching my camera to my skateboard via a bogen magic arm (pic below) for a rolling shot. It was kinda difficult as the arm extending out made the skateboard always want to tip over. No crashing allowed today..
I held an SB-26 shooting through a white umbrella triggered by a PW (which I just ducted taped all together to make my life easier) from the front right side of the deck. The flash kept freezing the ground more than I wanted, so I had to take a separate exposure without the flash to get the movement on the pavement that I wanted. Maybe I could have snooted the light a little more so the spread wasn't so wide so that I could have gotten this in 1 shot....I dunno I'll have to experiment with it more.
If you're wondering why my legs are tore up, it's from a photoshoot I did earlier in the day in the woods. The blackberry forces attacked me...

Bogen Magic Arm attached to skateboard
Nikon SB-26 handheld through umbrella from 11 o'clock when looking at picture below, a little above knee height. Shooting at 1/2 I believe and triggering with PWs.
