This is Nick. He has dreads. He rides fixed gears to much and doesn't ride BMX enough :/
So him doing a turndown off of this bench is pretty rad. He could be soo good if he rode more.

I think I like this one better than the photo I posted yesterday. I'll keep both up and let you decide.
Same strobist info as yesterday:
SB50dx on full power on top of bank on the left. Sunpak 444d on full power on the right.
PS some of my photos were featured on ridebmx.com
Check it out.
Shot for the Nikon D40/x/D60 Challenge: Week 152 - Breakfast.
Didn't take long to eat, but sure took a long time to prepare, set up and shoot! See setup in the next photo in my stream.
Strobist Info: SB-50DX fired at 1/1 into umbrella at 2 o'clock position triggered by Wein optical trigger. SB-600 tethered to camera w/ SC-29 cord and set to 1/16 power and fired at ceiling for fill / trigger. White reflector at subject left. Westcott diffusers and reflectors positioned over room windows to help control ambient light and stray reflections.

This is a dirt jump, in a parking lot, and he's doing a Superman off of a very small jump. I think this is pretty rad. Not sure if I like how I did the lighting though. Shot this pretty quickly because I had homework to do :/
Tell me what you think.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/2 power to the far right behind subject, Sunpak 422d on 1/2 power to the left, and an Sb50dx on full power pointed right at subject gridded to the very far right.

Strobist: SB-800 gelled 1 1/2 CTO shot into silver reflective brella to camera left. SB-50DX fired gelled 3/4 CTB at red background.
Trying to get more of an "epic" looking shot for this. Not at all saying this is epic but I just ment lighting wise I wanted a lot more shadows and for the dirt to be noticable. Really bummed about his face :(((((
Had to go into these sketchy bushes to get this too.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d 1on 1/2 power to the right and Sb50dx on 1/2 power to the right. Sunpak 444d on full power behind the jump.
Tried to get a little more creative than I usually do. This was really painful to shoot. Got stabbed like 100 times in a tree by a bunch of branches and I was literally hanging on a branch that should have snapped from me laying on it. Wish this came out a little more than I envisioned it. I tried to make the branches and sidewalk act as a frame around him but who knows how much I accomplished that or not.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/2 power to the right, Sunpak 422d on 1/2 power to the front (can only say that when I'm shooting above my subject), and Sb50dx on full power ot the left.
Here's a photo I shot today behind Temecula's new BMX shop, The Secret. Pretty happy with it and kinda wanted to try getting a little panning going here.
Tell me what you think!
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE:
I've been saving up for a new camera body for a while now and I've pretty much dialed it in between two cameras, the Nikon D90 or the D300.
First of all the main reason I want a new body is for a better sensor (Mostly to be able to shoot at higher ISO with as minimal amount of noise as possible) And I also want to have faster rapid fire. Although these are the biggest things I'm in need of I also like the features on the newer cameras and overall want to pick the best camera for what I shoot (BMX and Portraits). I've been doing a lot of research and can't decide at the moment.
PLEASE IF YOU COULD DROP A COMMENT LEAVING YOUR OPINION ON WHAT I SHOULD GET AND WHY THAT'D BE AMAZING! THANKS!

Holy crap I'm an Idiot. I wish I didn't take this under a bridge. If theres some wierd black part in the top of the picture and you dont know what it is.... It's the top of a bridge. I'm stupid. Hopefully it didnt ruin the picture.
I think I'm gonna do a 365 with Road bikes! haha

Pumpkin pie (9 inch, deep-dish...) made by the photographer early in January 2011 from fresh pumpkin - not canned. Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon N75 with a NIkkor 28-80 kit lens on Fuji Superia 800. Exposure unrecorded; Nikon Speedlight SB50DX used. Negative scanned into computer by an HP G4010, dust and crumb removal, color correction, and gamma correction all done in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2.
These are my two friends Christina and Sam. They've been wanting to do a shoot for a while so we went to my house today and this was the result. My backdrrop suffered a little from this but no worries. hahaha.
Definitly view in large!

I haven't uploaded in over a week! I've been in Lake Tahoe with my family so I haven't had a computer to edit any photos or anything for the past week. I got back today after a 10 hour drive and went and shot with Mikey.
Here he's doing a bump jump to wall ride.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/4 power to the far right. SB-600 on 1/4 power to the right. SB50DX on 1/2 power the the far left.
AND!!!!!!!!! I made my decision about a new body and I went ahead and ordered a Nikon D300S. I decided to just spend all the money I had and get the best camera I could get that would last me the longest.
This two are almost always with me were ever I go... Jogging, work, driving, walking a.s.o. They really are a great pair!
Actually I wanted to try out my DIY foldable light tent that I made. I was going to make one out of a cardboard box but thought I'd take it a step further. I got the idea from emacs Foldable DIY softbox.,; which btw is next on the list of to-do things :)
Strobist: On Light tent left slaved SB50DX shoot through paper and LT. Right SB-600 1/32 pwr. using elinchrom skyport. My first try at Stobist, please feel free to ask questions and comment :)
Some PS work also done...very newbie at that :P
My friend Gus traded me my old red suede vans for these fairly new (atleast the look that way) Dunks Jordan Fours. I had nothing to shoot today so I thought I'd try my first ever shoot with something other than living things or landscapes.
As you can tell it didnt turn out that great. Tell me what you think.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/2 power to the right and Sunpak 422d on 1/2 power to the left. SB50DX on full power behind the shoe facing background.

My friend Ian came over and took my bands new promos for our new layout today. I'm so jealous of all of his equipment its ridiculous. hahaha.
But yeah I felt like shooting afterwards. I don't know about this one. Let me know though.

This was suchh a lucky shot... I was switching up a flash and saw Mikey coming so I ran to where I wanted to shoot this and just manual focused as best as possible (at F 2.2) right when he was hitting jump and shot this right afterwards. Tell me what you think.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/2 power to the left behind jump, Sunpak 422d on 1/2 power to the right, and Sb50dx on 1/2 power straight ahead behind lip.

It was really hard to get shots here because I only had a VIP pass to the VIP booth and not a pass to get into the actual course so I couldn't get any amazing shots. All I have to say is Garret is the smoothest rider I've ever seen. AS IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT!
Strobist Info: SB50DX on half power held in my left hand.
Light sources:
SB-600 (12 in from subject) +2.0 ev
SB-50DX (14 in from subject) +2.0 ev
Built-in speedligh -3.0 ev
Nikon 105mm f/22 1/60s @ 34 in from subject
I was very curious about the real quality of this shot, so I searched around for images of this car and came across this website: Diecast Model Wholesale
I let you guys decide what you think, but I believe my model looks more realistic (compare the details on the front grill and the tires). My picture has far less shadow areas, but might gain a little by removing some of the overexposed spots on the front badge and front bumper. At this point I want to investigate more other angles and lighting conditions.
This is the first BMX shot I've posted that was shot with my new D300s. I'm finally getting the hang of it and now I'm loving it! Today I actually shot about 70% video instead of shooting stills so it was a really cool change of pace for me and hopefully I'll have an edit up of clips I shot with the new camera very soon!
This was really hard to shoot because it was a very busy Saturday in Old Town Temecula and this hallway was very narrow so I couldn't get the exact shot I wanted but I'm still pretty satisfied with the outcome.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/8 power to the right and SB50DX on 1/2 power with diffuser to the left.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST! I ALSO GOT FILM OF THIS SHOT AFTER WE GOT THE STILL IMAGE! I'm gonna start trying to do this for as many tricks as possible unless it's a one shot deal which it sometimes how it is is for Mikey because of how crazy he gets on his bike. I think it'll be cool to see clips of the tricks too, to better understand where it was shot and the lighting it was shot in. Since I don't have any video editing software on my home computer at the moment here's the uncompressed uploaded video of this trick:
Enjoy!
This was just a downer from the start. First off we get to this spot and it starts raining. It's also a drainage ditch so it got slippery and wet very quickly. Then one of my PC cables to my flashes gave out leaving me with only two flashes for this shot, which normally would have been fine but it was really cloudy and dark as well. Either way Mikey is insane and for the circumstances we were under and having only been able to get a couple shots off I think this turned out alright.
Strobist: Sunpak 444d on 1/2 power to the left in drain and Sb50dx on full power in the grass on top to the left.
Sweet new (and pre loaded) Umpqua fly box. I tried to take several different photos of the box highlighting some of it's more unique features, but had little success. Flies just look better when they are being eaten by big trout.
Strobist:

SB-50dx full power through DIY softbox (approx. 25" x 25") in front of subject camera left.

Only got a few BMX shots this week. All of them have been at this park though.
Right after he landed he had to make a quick right so he wouldn't get destroyed by all these bushes and run into me in which I would have been the person getting destroyed as well. haha
Strobist Info: Sb50dx on full power pointing up to the left of me, Sunpak 444d on 1/2 power to the right, Sunpak 422d on 1/2 power at the top of the planters to the left of me. Sunpak's triggered with Cybersyncs and SB50dx optically triggered.
