He is a huge LAKERS fan...Purple and Gold Baby!!!! I had this shot in my head for quite some time, so I asked if Rod would help me by posing for it. He was more than willing to put on his jersey, grab a ball and look like a badass! This was also to teach Rod, how to balance ambient lighting with flash/studio lights. He learned quite a bit that day, and I am glad I was able to help teach him. <br /> <br /> Now, I know a lot of you will go check out the EXIF data, and yes I handheld this at 1/8 second. I know I could have bumped up my ISO, and gotten better shutter speeds. However, I did not do that for 2 very specific reasons. I did not want to introduce ANY noise to the image whatsoever, secondly, I wanted to get lots of blur movement in the background. I set my camera to flash the strobes on rear curtain sync and I could still get Rod super sharp! <br /> <br /> I also posted the shot SOOC, as I have been getting a lot of messages and e-mails about my post processing. I am not sure how much interest there might be, but if there is enough, I will start a blog showing post-processing techniques and tutorials. I just want to make sure there will be enough traffic and interest, as it will be a lot of work to do something like this. So, let me know if you are interested in something like this!<br /> <br /> Enjoy,<br /> Hector<br /> <br /> Follow Me On:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Hector-Manuel-Cruz/1618089383" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/2SiiCK" rel="nofollow">Twiiter</a></p> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:43:00 -0700 2009-09-24T20:05:16-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (BigBoyDrums (www.hectorcruzphoto.com)) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3956338324 Always His Call...... <p><a href="http://bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=3956338324&amp;size=large" rel="nofollow">View LARGE On Black</a><br /> <br /> Lighting Info:<br /> <br /> AB1600 in 22&quot; Beauty Dish Camera Right<br /> AB1600 Camera Left Lighting the B-Ball Basket<br /> Nikon SB800 Behind Subject Lighting Up The Other B-Ball Basket<br /> Cybersyncs<br /> <br /> This is a shot of my friend <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rodvictoria/">Rod</a>, he is a referee and LOVES basketball.
