Burninating
This was a big production shoot, which required quite a bit to come together, thanks everyone involved. The shoot was organized by my friends John Ryan, Chris, and Me.
We had a pro stunt bike rider, a several bikes, some tricked out cars, models, plenty of glass, and a lot of burning rubber.
The plan was for 3 shoots, and I think we got what we came for. we shot at about 4PM, which was a little early for my taste, as it gets dark after 8 in NC during the summers. I couldn’t shoot faster than 1/320 b/c we were syncing with monolights, at least I can shoot at ISO 50. even with the new FlexTT5 PW, 1/500 is asking too much, here is where ND filter help out.
Things went really smoothly, Chris and John took care of all the behind the scenes footage, and during breaks, we got some great head shots of the talent.
All of the final shots are comps. It gets a little dangerous around all the burning rubber. Especially with 20k in photo equipment lying around.
In all it was a great shoot, and I think everyone involved had a lot of fun. We will be doing another shoot together soon.

I noticed that you wrote about how some shots were at shutter speeds faster than 1/200. I had a look at the picture posted on flickr and noticed that you’re using a 5D MK2. I thought the max flash sync speed was 1/200, how did you sync up the flash with a faster shutter?
