Teatherball kick

maxbennett · May 28, 2005

I have FINALLY figured out how to proccess NEF files from my D70s (Photoshop CS2 + Camera Raw 3.1). This is one of the first photos from my D70s, please do critique it. I'm a little bit overwhelmed by the D70s - it's my first DSLR, and I'm learning so much every time I go out.

Exposure:
1/8 sec - F/8
Sensitivity: ISO 1600
Auto Flash Comp: +1.0 EV

now thats a jump! very well composed - you definately caught the action here. the flash use makes the rear yard look like a backdrop. very cool! im not sure what you were going after besides the action but you nailed it IMO. in camera flash?

anyone else?

Good camera work!!! The exposure is on point! Please explain how there are shadows are on the background.

I don't have much in the way of a critique, but I am curious, did you use the slow sync flash to freeze the action?

maxbennett · May 29, 2005

Yes, a slow-sync flash. The reason it looks like a shadow is because after the flash went off, his feet were blocking the light from the background (it was really dark out - so his feet would have been black without the flash), so you get the black streak. I still can't beleive how high he jumped!
