Trying Something New

A Photographer recently sent me a photo by another photographer in the area I specialise in (Barrel Racing).  his photo was similar to this one.  The other photographer mentioned how playing with light can be appealing to the eye.

I've never tried this method but last night at a small local jackpot I thought "what the heck, I'll give it a try"

I set one of my strobes up high to the far side on a separate channel,  I played around with my settings and was able to switch my pocket wizards and setting while the barrel racer rounded the last barrel and headed home

The Biggest challenge was that I couldn't see what spot they were at to get the best shot so it was timing and trying to make sure i got them in the light.

Playing with light was fun and thats one of the best things about the local barrel races, you see them on a regular basis and their happy to see something different.
