Hugo Butterfly

    Taken for the DIYPhotography's Bag O' Goodies Assignment (Sports).
    I won! Congrats to the runners ups, nice competition!

    Info:
    Snooted 580s on each side of the swimming pool, bare 580 II for the backlight, all of them almost at ground level.
    Yongnuo remotes (the swimming pool is 25 meters long).
    Fog machine for the fog ^^

    Easy DIY used: the snoots are made out of Tetra Briks, black spray paint on the outside, black tape for the borders.

    Canon 70-200 at 200mm, 1/250 at f/8, ISO 200.

      that's incredible. there is a freaky symmetry between his arms and the wave he is creating. it almost looks like shiva swimming

      Muy buena, vi una tuya de la misma escena y creía que no podrías superarla, pero ya veo que si. Felicidades, esta tremenda!

      Very Nice.... Can't help but think more of a wide angle crop would look nice... Bit like the old Michael Jordan 'Wings' Posters

      Fantastic shot, congrats on winning the bag of goodies!

      Wow, nice shot!

      Great lighting, smoke, moment, movement.
      I specially like how the reflection in the water seemed like a water bokeh, and also the water drops spilling above him. Nice!

      Congrats for being the well-deserved winner for the DIY Photography Sports contest :)
