Photo Competition #39 - Ends 20th December


https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/12/1007.jpg

Static balls, dropping balls, blurry balls, ball sports.


Rules..

See here for the general rules (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/camera-corner/82504-photo-comp-rules.html).

Also..

Posting two pictures is encouraged but only one pic can be an old photo (shot before 10/12/2009).

Photoshop is fine. Just remember, less is more.


*Thanks to all those that PM'ed me for ideas. Hopefully this is a good compromise. :)

2sec Exposure at F16.
KM 5600HS off camera. Manual trigger via the test button, 1/32 power, 20Hz strobe.

I was going to set up something similar Andrew. Have to think up another approach:)

Feel free to give it a try. I'd be interested to see the results with the D3x's low light capabilities. Mine was a bit under exposed and the noise has come up a bit after fixing it. This shot had the nicest arc though.

Besides, I don't think it will matter. This topic seems to be a bit of a dud anyway.

[dmdigital]

I will have to use the D200 as my remote flash trigger hasn't turned up yet (don't you love back orders around Christmas:() So I can't remotely trigger both Speedlights off camera on the D3s until I get it.

Still at least my RRS L-bracket turned up today so I can tripod mount the camera on the ball head and rails at last.

Just had a thought.... might see what the D3s will do with multi-exposure bracketing and no flash.

Hopefully this thread will get a few more pic's by Sunday.

I was so stuffed after Saturday that I couldn't hold the camera steady that evening. Sunday just sailed past. Sorry I couldn't get motivated.

Don't feel bad guys. They can't all be blockbusters and it's a busy time of year. I should have just gone for the topic of 'Christmas'.

[Bushie]

Werdan :)

Well, we have to call this one a draw, so on the basis that Andrew held the ashes, the topic should default back to him for the 1st topic for 2010 to finish on 3rd Jan 2010
