I dug up some photos I took with my little bro (also on this forum - jdear_89) down at Jamberoo when some hay-bales were still out. i.e unwrapped and not stacked. We were taking some landscapes - but the sun didnt do much interesting when it set...

This is a photo of James in the distance shooting some bales - 2 stop HDR merge... Shot with my old Nikon 15:3.5 Ais lense (shows up as 50mm 1.8 in exif!) with adapter on 5D - I have no idea what the actual aperture was - I think it was around f11/f18 using the hyperfocal scale.


so I pulled out the flashes and had a bit of a play...

This was an 8 second exposure and I walked (read run) around James and popped off the flash at different places to paint him in (including the 'sun' between his hands)


some crazy air time...



and just a bit of flash on James for a portrait


and as usual a few more on my blog. Thanks for looking! I want to play around more with long exposures and flash painting - Id love to do a sort of paparazzi shot with a whole bunch of flashes going off in the background.

Everyone of those images caught my attention in some way

all stunning, but that first shot really takes the cake.

didnt see ur brother in the distance until you pointed it out, and now that i see it, it adds so much more depth to the image

Great set of pics I think I appreciate them a little more due to the fact that I never use any flash and am a little clueless in that department..

creative concept with holding the sun nicely balanced flash work as well.

so much to love about these shots i dont even know where to begin.
superb use of flash. well done.

Awesome shots! Your bro did well to keep still in the multiflash image...

The first shot is stunning, the second one very clever well done. More please!
