Strobist cyclist photoshoot

[Uscbryan949]

Great stuff as usual. Although bike riders are my pet peeve, always in the way and blocking traffic where I live, I like that he is off in the bushes and not impeding traffic. Thanks for the video and remind your buddy it is "right of weight". Lol

Seeing this video I understand how important is to connect with people that you work with/ for. You do them to have a nice experience. Love your work Matt :)

[thatnikonguy]

@manualwarr it is vital - thanks for the message.

Hi Matt,

Do the flashes and pocket wizard system you are using support high speed sync?

Tahnks

[thatnikonguy]

@stanboy123 yes the TT do support it to an extent - but for this kind of shoot 1/200 and 1/250 second was fine

Youre a BOSS!

[dweston67]

looks like your subject wants to be famous.

[Maxsdiscos]

I think you should have diffused the face light, it seems harsh like an effect an 'on camera' flash would produce.

[thatnikonguy]

@Maxsdiscos sure - it is harsh - I wanted that effect. The difference is that I could angle the light for better sculpting - as distinct to on camera.

[CRANKYONE100]

Matt, could you get a similar result with only 2 flashes? - i would be very interested to see the results....

[thatnikonguy]

@CRANKYONE100 sure - loose the backlight, or loose the front fill -

[ForesighPhoto]

Was that a 24-70mm you were using in this video???

[thatnikonguy]

@ForesighPhoto mostly, I used a couple of lenses

[mcphatstudios]

Awesome, I love those kind of shots. Thanks for the BTS...

[RMO6701]

Hey Matt, correct me if I'm wrong i thought i heard you mention the youngnuo flash. If so how are they? Im thinking about purchasing 2 for myself. I currently own the 580ex ii but i need a few more flashes for my strobe work. The price is remarkably lower that the canon. what's your take on it.

[thatnikonguy]

@RMO6701 yeah mate I b ought a couple to test out. search my channel and you will see several videos on the 460 and 560.

[Maxsdiscos]

@thatnikonguy I have the 460 (Mark 2)

[RMO6701]

@thatnikonguy thanks a mil.

[Maxsdiscos]

@RMO6701 I have Yongnuos. It does depend on the models. I have the basic manual model with just up and down keys to set the power. The head front (flash tube aka zoom) does not move, but there is a bounce card and wide angle diffuser. I like them.

If you don't need TTL and all the fancy professional features, they're fine. After all, it's just a flash and does what it says.

[RMO6701]

@Maxsdiscos Thanks for the info. I saw the 565 model and i just might go for those. I will post pic in the near future.

[thatnikonguy]

@colydeane apologies, last time I use that old wireless system

[wilteduk007]

[TeamFactor2]

[colydeane]

Seems only left channel audio working.
