mile four

Every time I run on the treadmill I think about doing this shot, so after my run today I gave it a try. There are things I'd like improve, but it's hard shooting yourself while running! :)

Strobist: 1 Alien Bee 320 w/s with softbox @ 1/16 power, 45 degrees camera right. 1 AB 160 w/s @ 1/4 power with 20-degree grid, 90 degrees, camera left. Triggered by PWs and Canon remote. 1/8 sec, f/71.

WOW.......I agree with stvkrn, i think among all ur shots using the strobes, this one is the best....looking at the thumbnail i actually thought why the hell you uploading some 'nike' addverts :-)...no joke...the lighting is awesome as in all your shots, but the movement here is fabulous....awesome.

well, thank you! I was relatively pleased given the limitations of not being able to see through the viewfinder, but I think it could be improved. I'll take the compliments, though. thanks again. :)

Looks awsome! I love the motion blur.

BTW, how do you like your Bees?

Love the blur coming off the shoes. The resulting compo is quite good, especially considering it is you running.

Holy cow!! You've gone to a whole 'nother level with this. And well, the "gams" are looking good too. =)

Mily, you crack me up! I'll take the compliment... but I have many runner/triathlete friends with legs that make my gams (to borrow stvkrn's phrasing) look like chicken legs. In fact, as a kid my family called me 'cricket legs.'

Mi-ly says:

Yeah, well, whatever.
I was the kind of kid who would get halfway around the field and get a STITCH in my side.
I'm proud to say I'm the exception that proves the rule in our family.

I've thought about doing this same shot during my running workouts. This is inspiring, I like the motion effect and the lighting is very well done. Expect to see an attempt at this by myself in the Strobist pool in the future.

Don't be surprised if ASICS, a magazine, or stock photo supplier come knocking on your door for a copy. Absolutely fantastic!

Very well done. Impressive when one remembers you are photographer and model at the same time.

Those are knockout shoes too! That's what I run in.

OK, I thought I was pretty good as an amateur photographer, but when you say you could improve on this it just shows how far I have to go! Fabulous shot, and btw, really nice legs. I don't think anyone would disagree on that!
