Slow Motion Sickness.

I shot these for my friends website.

It was a cold, muggy day.

#1 & #4 are eye-catching to me - #2 isn't quite up to your usual thought-provoking work imho.

I agree. Love #1. #3 is great, as well is #4. #2 is good, and a nice portrait, but (and for some reason I can tell) the stick is in focus, his face, not, and that bugs me...

Do you have any techs on this? Like time of day, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, flash/ev comp, meter mode, etc? The exposure balance is wonderful and I would like to experiment with the same technique...

I like #1, Cody. I like the lighting, the vignetting, the sky, the desaturation of the colors in the face and the unselfconscious pose.

I actually did these a lot different. We experimented with really weird settings to get what I did.
Here is the EXIF for the shots posted here.

ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/1250 sec.
Exposure Time: 1/1250

I used the Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens for the shots.
And for existing light, I tried to backlight it so it wouldn't drown out the sky or the subject.

I had my Canon 430EX Speedlight set on the 50mm zoom length.

Does that help anybody?

Yes, actually. I didn't think to ask about the flash zoom setting... I was wondering how you got the sudo vignetting, its a very cool effect, particularly in photo 1.

Unfortunately, I am using a Maxxum 5D (yes, some are shot on a 20D... school's camera...) and while I am planning on backing out of the now Sony camp, I am not about to buy a flash that I will have to lose money on when I go Nikon (KM has a proprietary hot-shoe mount).

But I will file this little bit of brilliance away for a later date... Thank you.
