What can I say I am a sucker for Wide open Aperture shots

I really haven't set up a light and shot people before... this was a fun attempt with the cash I used to buy my new toy (5dii) :)

Pretty god-damn badass.

^were those taken with a long exposure and an off-camera flash set at say.. 1/200?


i'm confused

[joshtimber]

Are you serious there is special effects applied on these pics?

Looks like off cam flash with like a 1/60 or slower shutter.

It's like 1/15 with a window on his right an a bare flash (way overdone...) on the left. Rear sync freezes motion, slow shutter allows money movement. I also used a tripod and took two shots and layered together to show more money in the frame. It's harder than you'd think to capture a few grand of bills in a single frame.

i just tried to like this post

thanks for sharing, my dude. much appreciated.

i think the fact that it's overexposed adds to the shot.. like a kind of dream land effect (i'd be in dream land if i was throwing around a couple thousand bills!)

Yup, I learned by asking people. It all comes down to playing with it though, which I need to do more. I wanted the flash to be hot for that very reason, but I overdid since there is 0 info left in hand/face.

Nice photo!
I m waiting for an IR flash trigger in the mail so I can experiment with lighting a little more.
You used a light setup for this I guess right?

PS.Btw,I use this for most of my photos.
Sometimes with fairly poor results.

Recomposing After Focusing

If you are using a single focus point it is usually easier to leave you camera set on the center focus point. This does not mean that you need to always have your subject in the center of the frame. First half press the shutter release button when the center focus point (or the one you have selected) is over the subject in order to lock the cameras focus. Then you can recompose the frame, the focus will remain locked onto the subject leaving you free to compose the scene how you want before fully pressing the button to finally take the shot.

This is an easy technique to master and one of the most common methods used in order to get an acceptable focus to your images.
