Big Break

Fuji S7000 @ 8mm, 1.3 sec, f/3.6, ISO 200
Previous · Current · Next

This shot was actually taken last night, so I still had my S7000 with me. I had the Fujimugs current theme "People in Action" in mind, but I wasn't expecting much from the shot. I made novel use of a spider rest turning it into a makeshift monopod. It worked surprisingly well considering the 1.3 second shutter speed. I'd like to try this shot again with a proper tripod, and my SB-800, perhaps on strobe mode. Although the trails from the balls is quite cool.
