Strobist: Post your photos and setups

[Village Idiot]

BONUS Shot: 3 minute exposure.

Just curious, did you make any attempts to light the car and do a three-minute exposure? That last shot would have been sweet with some subtle lighting on the car as well.

Great job though, on all the shots, especially for a first-time Strobist!

Nope. I was considering having my buddy fire the flashes manually every few seconds, however he was literally laying in the middle of the road (Closed on one end) because he was so tired. I don't like how the stars are all showing motion. However I wish I could have captured them with a faster shutter speed but the image was just too dark. Also, this was taken in the middle of nowhere, it was so dark out that you couldn't even see the car through the viewfinder.

Thank you!

They only have to fire once. A longer shutter doesn't diminish the exposure from a flash. Doing the previous shot with a long shutter would have netted you the car exposed the same with a lighter sky.

Pretty basic stuff here. 2-3 speedlights at low power bounced off the ground.

This may be my first time getting into trouble as its pushing the envelope... but 4 lights used here. 2 gelled and 2 with simple umbrella setups.

Can't decide which version I like better. So I posted them both lol

1/250, f/8, ISO 400, 165mm, D300s
1- SB-800 through 24" softbox just on my left shoulder and in front of me a few feet. Sun for back/rim light.

I think I saw some senior shots you did and the light was quite good.

Thanks
