Different Strobes for Different Folks…

Strobing… something that I’ve never really tried after years and years of almost no-flash photography. It has suddenly hit me outta the blue! It started when I went to buy this china-made flash-radio-trigger and reciever – to test just for fun… then it suddenly open a whole new pandora box. One thing lead to another, and the past two photo-shoots – one at the beach earlier – we dedicated the ending phase to off-shoe flash photography… the results were … I think ok laaa…haha… but what it did was fanning the urge to find out more about this area of photography that I sorely lack in.

“You use flash meh? Tiok check kiaaa” – Michelle was so surprised she jumped in surprisation.

TECH : 3-offshoe flash… Left power light, one centre and one fill on the right. No edit at all sans cropping.

Then later on the weekend, we dedicated a night photography on strobing only…
Rather run-and-gun, but this is hopefully a beginning to something new in me and my buddies’ arsenal.
Here is the … haha.. rather cliche placement of lights….. but it sure is a good learning process…ban ban lai (slowly slowly learn).

Penang’s Zebra crossing never had it so bright…..Siew Tien doing a Beyonce-strut down the lines.

TECH : 2-flash, one following SiewTien on her right and one behind her. No edit at all.

Our offshoe-flash-virgin gang trying out…

and another Heroes-inspired group shoot…… hwhahahahaha….. I am the lang-chia-pek.

TECH : 4-lights.. one main, behind cam and left, casting chainlink shadows on us. one SB800 bottom, just under cam. two via SU-4 mode (flash on detect another flash strobe) on each end of the doors.

Till the next time, hopefully you guys will c more stuffs coming out from this eye-opening discovery. haha.. about time, I think. Strobe like Crazy!!!!!!
