Hi guys!
I was at the boxing the other night watching some of the ringside photographers snapping away at the action and I noticed two photographers standing next to one another with their flashguns being used in an interesting way.
The camera was pointing between the bottom and first rope, with flashgun pointed upwards at sort of a diagonal angle (I'm assuming to avoid that dark strip from flash hitting the rope). I also noticed a small, seemingly metallic, strip attached to the flashgun. Not sure if that was for bouncing the light off somewhere or what.
I have a flash myself but as a complete novice have never truly mastered the art of ringside photography and am keen to hear any explanations of this use of flash!
Thanks guys. Stoi. :thumbup:
