World on a String




Local yo-yo wizard Luke Roberts (current UK champion, no less) and I got together to make promo shots and here is an example of what we were able to achieve with a very simple setup.

One strobe camera right, up high and brollied, half power, one camera left and slightly behind, home-made gobo keeping it from fogging the lens, half power and zoomed to 50mm. Both about eight to ten feet away. Camera f16 (hard to get much dof with full-frame) at 200th sec, iso 400.

What I've quickly learned to love about these Canon flashguns is they have way shorter flash duration than my interfit studio lights, so can freeze the action, and they are also way more portable. I also seem to be able to control how much light falls on the backdrop much more easily, which saves so much time in post-processing!
