mine has only 1.60 :|
though i dont think i will be using it.. and if so, then i will just use a lower iso

[parafriknbola]

Yeah I was surprised too because the camera manual said it could only sync to 1/200. :D

My x-sync is 1/250 and i can easly get away with 1/320. I only start to see the dreded black line at 1/400 and faster. I guess they give it some le-way for some reason, just to play it safe.

i did a little test a few minutes ago.

1/400, the line starts to appear.

I've got a camera with that samy sync time, canon AE-1. Good camera, not good for action flash though. Unless it's really dark outside.

[Balmore]

Is 1/2 a stop faster realy a big deal?
Will action realy freeze any better?

I calced some numbers for thought.
A skater traveling at 15mph (6.66m/s) at 90deg to the camera would travel:
111mm in 1/60s
53mm in 1/125s
26mm in 1/250s
21mm in 1/320s
6.6mm in 1/1000s a long flash pulse
0.66mm in 1/10,000s a short flash pulse

Other factors that would alter sharpness:
Focal lengh on the lens, 20mm would give better sharpness than a 100mm lens at the same distance
The distance of the camera to the subject, the further way the lessen the angle of movment across the frame and therefore greater sharpness.

This bit is MY opinion ONLY.
So if flash is the primary light sorce (2 stops more than abmient) I dont think that it should be that much of a problem.
If flash is balanced or used as fill the highest x-sync shutter speed avalable would be best.
Panning would help sharpen the skater but would blur the background.

Balmore.

[julyknive]

nice one balmore.
its good that i hardly (i dont?) shoot skaters.
but i think i will be when i get my pocket wizards.
for me, having a camrea that syncs at 1/60, i think its the best to just use 100 iso films alot. depends on the weahter/location ofcourse.. or do you guys have experienced the skater as not sharp at 1/60, with bright weather?

[MattCrssngr]

If your shooting a skater in bright weather with a sync of 1/60 and light him up well with flashes, then you'll probably be able to freeze him in place, but most likely he will be transparent to a certain degree because of the ambient light behind him burning through.

[julyknive]

hmm.. i'll see when i get to it. thanks matt

The brighter it is outside, the more motion blur he will get on the skater in action. On the other hand if it's pitch black outside, the only light that will get to the film is the light that was produced by his flash which is going to be a duration of something like 1/1000 - 1/50000 sec. So i think if he shoots in very low light he will be fine, but if he shoots in daylight, that's when the blur comes into play. I think the ideal situation for julyknive would be dark areas with bright flash, not bright areas because he's got to shoot at 1/60th and in constant bright light that won't stop much action i dont think.

Would someone mind explaining this x-sync stuff to me? I'm a little lost! :oops:

[MattCrssngr]

x-sync aka flash sync Is the fastest shutter speed available while using flashes with your camera. If your cameras x-sync is 1/90, then you can only take pics using your flash with shutter speeds up to 1/90 of a second.


For 35mm cameras, 1/300 is the fastest X-Sync available, while some medium format cameras and DSLR cameras can sync up to 1/500.

[mal]

My Fuji S20 pro appears to be able to use flash up to 1/10000. Am I doing something wrong (were you perhaps only referring to slave flash as opposed to the camera's built in flash) or do I just have a very good camera?

[MattCrssngr]

Shutter speed and x-sync are two different things...
You were looking at what your cameras max shutter speed was, which is 1/10000.
I looked at the specs of your cam on the internet and it actually never said what x-sync your camera shoots at...
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/s20pro.html#specs

Here are the specs for my cam, and you can see by the max shutter speed it says what my cameras x-sync is...
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_reviews/300d_views.html#specs

[Balmore]

and just to confuse things even more some high end SLRs have 2 x-sync speeds. one for any flash that can be connected (1/250) and a second for the dedicated flash with reduced output(1/8000).

Balmore.

[Balmore]

x-sync on the s20 pro is 1/1000s
the odd thing is that the manual does not state a sync speed although there are a few referances to using flash up to 1/1000s
This may because of the s20 laking in a mechanical shutter and doing it all in electronics.

Balmore

[mal]

Thanks for helping me out you guys, but I'm still confused. As a test, I just set my shutter to 1/10000, turned the built in flash on, and took a picture. Everything worked fine. I then attatched an external flash to the hotshoe and took a pic, still with the same shutter speed. On both instances the flash fired, and the picture was perfectly exposed. What's going on here?

[Balmore]

the manual says the MAY be dark if taken over 1/1000s - Fuji realy dont seem to tie the issue down.

Was the photo of an object close by or at the max flash distance?

Balmore

[mal]

Well it's the middle of the night here, but I just tried taking a pic of one corner of my room, from the opposite corner (distance of about 15 feet) with the same settings as before, and although the picture was slightly underexposed, it was perfectly visible and all the detail was clear.

nice kevin, diggin the 2nd one.
its funny, i have one that is quite similar, where sparta's bassplayer tunes his bass.. all black, and just a lillll bit of white on his arms and guitar.. i like that!

http://www.thisishamid.com/temp/09copy.jpg

The R/Y/G lights came from some traffic lights nearby. The thick white one unfortunatley came from a street light.

I like the portrait, should have used a light from behind for a little more seperation, but I like it though. Admit it, you love the hasselblad...

[julyknive]

traffic light? like on the sidewalk? thats weird haha..

the portrait and its light: yeah i feel ya..i was so siked on shooting with the hasselblad that i didnt really pay attention to the lights.. i stil like how he kind of disappears into darkness though.. wearing my awesome leather jacket!! ha!

[Rock Lee]

the rail looks so huge

[andrew cleary]

i have heard that it is knee high. great shot tho.

[bs]

the one he is skating is a little bigger then the more famous one, you might be able to see off in the right. its more mellow, and longer so its not as low.

[andrew cleary]

either way, its a fat rollerbladers heaven.

1. Wide angle doesnt seem to fit this photo well. I would have used a longer lens and tried to emphasize on the steps at the bottom which shows that its a bigger drop than it seems and if at all possible use flashes to light the drop and the skater.

2. The sun is way too distracting along with all the skaters watching.

look at the "hotspot"

[JZalutsky]

its not hard to tell at all look at the shadows and yea "hotspots"

[Rock Lee]

hotspots ?

[julyknive]

a spot where a lightbundle comes together. as for that photo above, its in the middle of that handrail/curb.. strong hotspots (as in overexposed) can be super annoying in photography, its just a matter of using a lightmeter

[koubis]

ok i think i understand ;)
it's annoying cause it catches the eye ?

[julyknive]

check my previous post i editted it.

http://www.thisishamid.com/temp/hotspot.jpg

here's a good example of a hotspot. its a (very old) picture i took at a recording studio. (hotspot was caused because i didnt adjust the flash to my camera's aperture)

[bs]

besides the obivous one, there is another just outside the right of the frame. also should have been another lighting up the ledge and left side of his body. lucky for me my flash ran out of batteries right before he did the trick and i didnt notice until after. :evil:

[andrew cleary]

got to get the energizer E2 lithium batteries. they keep going, and going, and going...

[MattCrssngr]

I think thats called a toyale or something, they did them alot in vg4.


http://andrewsmedia.net/photographs/resized/IMG_2893-01.jpg

Try lowering the power on your flash or moving it back a couple feet so it doesnt wash out the skater and the ledge.

my friend, notice the letterspacing in your piece above (love iPod)..
try using "optical" instead of "metric" in ps7 in the character pallet..it works

[parafriknbola]

i re-post processed it, with the highlights in mind. I liked the other one better, even with the blown hightlights. This one just doesnt have pazaz. The other one just looks more velvia like.

If you want it to look like velvia, try saturating it a little.

misfits are by far my favourite trick to shoot ever since i saw that pic of rachard johnson, think it was a 50/50 ad.

that one is just as sick!

scott kramer- he related to eitan kramer?! does eitan still skate? last time i heard of him was some xgames (boo!) vert comp years back...

my boss let me borrow his d2x this weekend. all i have to say is, i really shouldn't have done it. after using it i haven othing but disdain for my d70, but i can't really justify (or afford) dropping 5k on a body, considering i don't even have a lens collection yet. WHAT'S A BOY TO DO!?

that (your?) girl has beautiful eyes.
shooting vertically gets better compositions most of the time.. its different with medium format though..

haha look at the guy in the right in the 4th pic, looks like he has a toyguitar.. its so small!

haha, yea its really mine. ive got a bunch of different ones. i have been wanting to take a shot like that for a while now and someone gave me free tickets and they happend to be in the upperdeck, front row directly behind home plate. couldnt have worked out any better. it was a good game, drew carey caught a foul ball.


when the pictures are too big on the board, i would agree that it gets annoying, but i was in a hurry this morning when i compressed and uploaded it so oh well. ill make it smaller when i get a chance.

[Micah Barrett]

haha i will make an exception and not bitch about the size of that photo because i think it needs to be that big to fully appreciate it. they let you in with that camera? usually people at stadiums have a heart attack if you try to bring in 'professional' equipment but then it HAS been awhile since i've been to a game.

in any case, good photo!

[andrew cleary]

they didnt say a word. Just as long as you dont bring in any bags. so i had to carry it all night while it was 35º out.

I'm glad you like it. I dont really have much of a setup at the moment. I'm selling my camera soon because 1/500 x-sync will solve my daytime motion blur problems and a quality full-frame fisheye will be really nice.

And a shot from Philadelphia...

[T!M]

Nice Matty!
All those are super sick, although SeanRads upper body kinda diaappers into the trees, but i think that shot was all about the pretty flowers anyways. And Jakes shot is sickbutt to, but i wish Kawika and T would get thier ugly mugs out of the way.
Dude whats up with your site!?! It wont let me steal pictures anymore!!

[MattCrssngr]

Thanks Dan, I wanted a flash for the first one so I could put a rim light on him to seperate his sweatshirt from the background but nope! and I didnt feel like yelling at people to get out of my shot.

http://www.theambientshowcase.com/flashsite/photos/gallery1/ham_fulltorque.jpg

nice shot, but i still find the fisheye distortion a bit disturbing. i know its hard to get a whole landscape with a 24 or 28mm but still...

nice shot, but i still find the fisheye distortion a bit disturbing. i know its hard to get a whole landscape with a 24 or 28mm but still...

The telephoto shot of that trick didn’t justify the tricks difficulty or the obstacles difficulty.. This perspective shows more of what matters than the other angle did. I personally dont like wide angle focal lengths for skating.

[julyknive]

i think you get the same perspecitive with a 24, without having the major distortion.. just my thoughts.. im not familiar with skate photography anyways..

[digitalfilmmaker]

matt should go pro...

[andrew cleary]

yea, he should try to win the am championships and move on to the pros.

[digitalfilmmaker]

what are the am championships andrew?

[andrew cleary]

the asa of photography. you got to shoot your heart out while 200 others shoot their hearts out. throughout different cities. they set up obsticles and you have to shoot them. then the top ten from each comp go on to the finals in LA and the top ten will become a pro photographer for daily bread, be-mag, crazy roller, ect.

[hatesmiles]

Someone post rollerblading shots that are shot with medium format cameras.I wonder do they even shoot medium format in mags?

[Micah Barrett]

i'm pretty sure graffigna shoots medium format when he can, and so does jeff linett (sp?)

[MattCrssngr]

Why do you want people to post pics with mf, you cant even distinguish their superior quality over 35mm and digital after scanning and compressing to post on forums. I think Wes Driver shoots medium format too.

[hatesmiles]

oh....very good point Matt!

bs, did u resize those photos or is it just the fish eye?

[andrew cleary]

brian, what is your setup?

i love the colors of your shots. you are good with lighting.

[bs]

i didn't crop any of those, but i did make them smaller for the web. the lens i used is actually not a fisheye, but the last two are with a 20d, canon 10-22, sunpak 544 and vivitar 285.

[andrew cleary]

im not a huge fan of the last two, but the fishbrain picutre is amazing. if you used a 20d for the last two, what did you use for the first?

[wRek]

Uhhhhhhh... is it just me, or are the people in the second two pics a bit... Mis-shapen?

[andrew cleary]

thats what i was thinking. looks like he used the liquify tool in photoshop on their heads.

[MattCrssngr]

Uhhhhhhh... is it just me, or are the people in the second two pics a bit... Mis-shapen?

That lens (10-22mm) was made to create a 16mm focal length but without any distortion, but in my opinion it creates a more disturbing distortion than the regular circular fisheye, I'm interested in what Julyknive thinks about that lens, lol.

Nice Pics BS, I like the first one alot.

[PhotoSTEEEZ]

im not a huge fan of the last two, but the fishbrain picutre is amazing. if you used a 20d for the last two, what did you use for the first?

Maybe the 20d with a different lens???!?!?! :roll:
