She's a Killer...

...Queen.

Holy Leaping Ladies Batman, it's yet another flying dancer photo from the Brisbane Strobist Meet #6.

Strobist info: Lots of flashes didn't fire for me in this shot (darn optical slaves being stolen by other 'togs) anyway, I know for certain that the SB-600 @ 1/4 power fired into my brolly box on camera right, and that was probably it really.

    Thanks :)
    Bit of a salvage job on this one as my optical slave went off for another photographer fractions of a second before I pressed the shutter.

    I must say, the coloured costumes were a lot easier to shoot than the black ones!

    More coloured costumes or black on white next time - at least your computer works. Nice shot.

    Sorry Dave it was probably me that stole your light. Your pics are a heap better than mine but that’s no surprise. Great shot by the way.

    Hahaha...stolen light. (o^^o) You still got a great shot.

    Hi David. Great shot.

    Very good result. I like the action feel and how the lighting has isolated the subject. Lovely colourful outfit too.

    It's running OSX, of course it works :)
    You're right though - seamless white backdrops would have been the go.
    Could have been anyone really, it only takes one flash to set off the opticals ;-)
    Thanks Margot :)
    Hi Colin. Thanks. Looks like everyone managed to come away with something.
    I did burn the rather distracting background a bit though. But yeah the coloured costumes worked really well.

    Another stunning shot, and very colourful at that.

    I really liked this shot of yours - I just got to my version tonight - looks nowhere near as rich. Your colours really pop and the light on the sword is ...sharp....
    For comparison...note that mine seems to be taken just a fraction before yours.... shifty eyes...

    Thanks :)
    I see you're the culprit for the missing optical slaves ;-) (at least the rear one, and probably the one into the reflector camera left).
