Strobe walk.

Got to try my first strobe shots. What do you think? Any tips?

Well, since you asked, I have to say "interesting" but it just isn't doing anything for me. Maybe it's because there's to much overlap. Can you slow the strobe down to get more seperation between the "exposures"? the background is fairly unflattering. In the other one with the bride - the dress ended up reflecting to much and created a big spot of overexposure.

I'll give you an A for effort - trying something new. Keep playing with it and see if you can come up with something...

I agree with phil, slow it down to get some seperation, and try a more interesting background.

Yeah, look like you have the basic technique down.Now you have to apply it to telling a visual story.

Hi Harp,
Sorry, but I have to agree with the others here. Either slow down the strobe or speed up the action. Instead of walking, have someone jumping over a challenging object to get some differing facial expressions. I see lots of possibilities here.
You have a good start, definately worth exploring. Looking forward to more test shots.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

you have such a poetic way with comments

I agree with all the above... you have plenty of exposure here, so speed up the action. notice the practically blown out portion near the bottom? you could even go a little less with the exposure and be fine.

multi-flash is fun, ain't it??
