Travis Fairweather | Backside Tailslide

I shot this photo about a month ago, and had been saving it for a little art exhibit last night. I got it printed 16"x24" and framed. It was the largest print I posted, and is by far my favorite. I love this photo. It's of my dear friend, Travis, doing a trick I had recommended, and I think it came out amazing!

 

I think this was my second skate photo I've shot using my new Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 unit's HyperSync feature. I can now get full frame flash coverage at 1/800 of a second using my Nikon sb-900's on full power plugged into Pocket Wizard Plus II Transceivers. It lets me stop motion, and cut down the ambient light in midday sun which is a huge plus for shooting skateboarding..!

 

strobist: sb-900 right behind me to camera right as key. 2 sb-900's to camera left (one at about 9 o'clock and one at 11 o'clock) as fill. Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 on camera firing Plus II Transceivers on the flashes. All flashes fired in Manuel on full power.
