The Invisible Fist

Came across these "alternative" portraits on a photoblog this weekend and thought I would give it a try. Also chance to try new 30D and 85 f/1.8.

Shot in very low light in my living room - so ISO 3200 and f/1.8. I think the focus was too percise for the application as they came out a little soft with the head movement. I have to say I am super impressed with the low light performance of the 30D though. Shooting anything at ISO 800+ on my 10D typically resulted in a garbage if cropping was required.



PS - this gives you a bit of a headache - so don't try it if your subject is delicate.

Now show me a shot of him drinking water with his mouth that way
It's quite an interesting effect isn't it...... likes like he got punched in the face just seconds before the shot *ouch* .... Skippy (Australia)

I'd need a powerful hose and very good timing. The shutter is firing at 1/250th and I was catching maybe 1 in 10 shots that were half decent. I need a subject with more "extra" weight I think!

Great capture! These types of photos have a certain name, but I can't think of the name! I've done it before. Yes it does dive you a headache, but the results are fun!
