DSLR Shots and Discussions

Strobe lights, especially the better ones you are using, are fast enough to stop action such as the cartridge falling through the water. Could some be the disturbance of the water distorting the image? Are all strobes firing simultaneously? What happens if just one strobe light is used? Is focus exact on the object once dropped? Camera shutter speed has nothing to do with stopping this action--it's all the strobe light. You just have to chose a shutter speed that allows the strobes to sync properly with your camera.

What was the shutter speed on this one? Great shot! I would have slown it down just a hair more to get more spin on the wheels but other than that fantastic.

This isn't a particularly good quality photo, but I think it captured a nice moment. Part of the group taking in the view at the 8 mile overlook on The Dragon. 5-16-12

Not sure the speed though I could look. I was trying to shoot slow to get more wheel spin but shots were coming out too blurry. It was my first time really shooting fast moving objects. It was tough but Im glad with the results. I too would have liked more blur on the wheels.

Steve I love the "smoke" in the mountains in that pic

Its absolutely beautiful around there. The PERFECT place to hold an event like that. I loved everything from the people to the scenery to the cars. What a great week.

Dude I got SO caught up in chilling with my neighbor, Ron from Alabama. Ron, his GF Karen, cousin Dave and his wife Crystal were super cool. We partied HARD. I tried to make it back up to 660 to hang with you guys some more but it just never materialized. You guys were all cool. Got to chat with Al on a few occasions, once at the grill for quite a bit. Spoke to Randy a few times also. Would have liked to meet Dan. You guys all drove past me on Wed (I think) while I was walking up to my room. I ran like hell to take a piss and get in the car. I figured you would be heading for the Dragon so I made a left outta FVR. I think you guys went right up 28 cause we passed you on Hellbender on our way back.

Nice! Damn that's low!

Nice work, Mr. Alchemy!!!

onzedge · 05-22-2012, 11:27 AM

I like this photo, Mr. Mustang.

SailFree · 05-22-2012, 04:17 PM

Nice photograph, nice car for sure, but seems too low to be a practical road car. No curbs or dips or inclined driveways where that thing goes!
