Fast mountain bike







A mountain biker wanted me to take pictures of him. I wanted the shots to be dynamic and make it look like the rider was biking at speed. For this reason I took the shots while it was cloudy and used a very slow speed setting. I set my camera Canon EOS 1 DS Mark3 and a zoom Canon 27-70 2.8L at 50/100 ISO. To freeze the rider I used a flash synchro at the second curtain and to make the backround blurred, I used a speed of about 1/20s or 1/30s, aperture F8 and manual focus.







The sky became darker so I under exposed my camera to make the shot look more dramatic. I put my flash on a tripod to my left and remotely triggered this using the pocket wizard Plus II and this picture is the result.
