 I hope people get the idea of the "carlights"...

30 sec exposure made this really hard, because the batteries for the radio transmitter were dead. All strobes were fired manually. Here's how it was done:

1. I stood in front of the camera with softbox to the left (580EXII 1/2 CTO). Friend presses the shutter then fires flash at the softbox.

2. We both ran away from the camera while firing two flashes at the branches/leaves.

3. Friend gets in place (silhoette) while I ran behind him and fired a flash once to the right of him, repositions, and then once to the left.

In hindsight I should've added a flash right behind me to resemble the light from the "car" onto my jacket.

I can definitely feel the fear / concern / danger in this shot. I really thought it *was* a car!

very nice cinematic image, with just a few quibbles. I feel like the main subject is a bit squeezed in the frame, with a bit too much light up in the trees in the upper right. very nice concept and balance. Top ten

This is strange. Gives the impression of 2 photographs blended together: the left one made in studio, the right one made outdoors.
