My new credo of life is: never leave home without at least one strobe, even it is midday and the sun is high in the sky. This time i've used two little's. Vivitar 285HV & Metz 48-AF1. Set up is very simple: both were on the ground, camera left and right, Vivitar bit more away from bike, Metz zoomed at 50mm. both at 1/4 power.  The upper image was taken with Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 lens.

Upper image Exif: Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
       Aperture f/4.5
                                         Focal Length 120mm.


Lower image was taken with little Tamron brother 17-50mm. f/2.8 lens.
             Exif: Exposure 0.04 sec (1/25) 
 Aperture f/8.0
            Focal Length 19mm.

Whole system triggered by Cactus V2s radio triggers. With little tamron they works perfectly, but when i mount 70-200 f/2.8, then.... hummm... i start to think about transmitter modification, because the signal is too low to reach receivers when i am far away :(

At least i've got a chance to take a shoot of my nephew. He's my sisters newborn Rojus, when i photographed him he was 2 months and 2 days old. It is realy hard to make lighting and composition in a right way when you are taking pictures of such a young model :}} but i'm satisfied with the results. I used two strobes for the shoot. One Vivitar 285HV in a 60x90cm. softbox camera right side, and Metz 48 - AF1 camera left, for fill.
