This is Rebecca. From an earlier shoot.
Strobe notes: 2ft softbox front left, blue gel on open light rear right.
Not that this strobist business is easy.
But strobe self-portraits are really tough to manage.
(Strobist info: Single Pentax AF540FGZ with snoot made from Jever beer sixpack cardboard, shooting from the right side at 1/64, angle slightly upwards from below face, shot through white cloth - for lack of umbrella -, triggered by on-camera flash in control mode.
Oh gawd do I feel geeky when I use all that gobbledegook!
But I have found out a funny way to work without a light stand: Just set up my tripod, mount my old Super A on it, and use its flash shoe to hold the strobe - works perfectly!)
I photographed these succulent flowers growing on the end of a stalk in my sister's garden.
Lighting stuff: Side lighting from a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at the left side. The strobe, in manual mode, was triggered by a Youngnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

Those 2 ballet dancers (he is Christian Dedeene), he was for 5 years a solo and star dancer with one of the greatest choreographers of the century, Maurice Bejart.
I was fortunate to have him in our studio a couple of times, and what an experience it was, each time. She has her own Ballet school, Rose d'Ivry in Ostend) are true professionals, otherwise I would not have been able to use this technique, ONE take...no PS! FILM!
This is the result of having those 2 wonderful ballet dancers in your studio, who are up for a challenge and something different.
How do you capture their graceful, often powerful movements and action in such a static medium?
And challenging it was, as ballet dancers need to be able to fix on a point to execute the figures correctly and land on the same spot.
This image is taken in a completely dark studio. Technically challenging though it is, the results always thrill me.
A bit of lateral thinking of what 'action' can all mean in photography, given the 'still' nature of the beast.
We had tremendous fun and are happy with the results.
This has been achieved by strobe flashing. A PROPER STROBE PHOTO!
Modern photographic stroboscopy in its simplest form is a method whereby a subject in motion is lit by repeating flashes of light while the shutter of the camera remains open for a period of time long enough to capture the subject in multiple locations during the time of exposure... not just using 'flash' as many seem to think.
As always, thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)

We've had a lot of rain, so this location I had earmarked for this shoot was on its way to a bog like state, but what a great day for a shoot with good strong light to play against. So much good light, that even under this canopy, a 500th was needed to bring the background under control. Despite the light, October is pushing it for outdoor shoots and both Joanna and I started to feel that cooling air. Yikes, here comes Winter!

Just a note on post processing: There have been tweaks using the radial filter in Lightroom here and there as the strobe didn't colour match with the internal lighting.
Had a shoot with fellow photographers and some dancers.
I've always wanted to try this series and finally got a chance to do it
Strobist info:
2 Studiostrobes back left and right of subject @ 2.0
Fun Fact #1: On the left side of my head, you can see a line or dent that runs several inches up (why I usually wear a hat). My mother refuses to admit it, but I think I was likely dropped as an infant. It would explain a lot.
Fun Fact #2: My head, in addition to being unattractive, is also asymmetrical. Again, if you dare to look closely, one ear is higher than the other. It plays hell with every pair of glasses I have ever owned as they all end up being warped.

Strobe stuff: Flashpoint XPLOR 600PRO with 38" deep parabolic camera right.
There's a bit of a story with this shoot. I met Analiza the previous week when I was returning some merchandise to a store; she was the checkout counter person that processed the return. I told her that I had a strange question when she was done with the return. When she completed it, I handed her one of my cards and told her I was a photographer and asked if she would be interested in doing a photo shoot sometime. I also pulled out my phone and showed her some of my work.
Right away she said, "sure."
A few days later we met at a coffee shop and we went to a local park to do some "test shots".
I think she did an amazing job with a little direction.
By the way, the hat I bought from the store she works in.
The moral of this story is to not be afraid of asking strangers to do a formal photo shoot. You just may be pleasantly surprised.
