I thought it might be interesting for some of you if I explain how this image of a tennis player diving for the ball was created, starting with the concept and working through to the the post-production.

Anatomy of a shoot: the “Tennis Player” from concept to post-production
Monday, November 30th, 2009PocketWizard raises the bar
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009Not long ago I blogged about the latest RadioPopper annoucement; the ability to control my flashes using radio is something that I’m desperate for.
Well, PocketWizard haven’t been sitting on their laurels either. Oh no – they’ve done everything possible to make me lust sinfully over yet another piece of gear.
The new controlTL system is just insanely brilliant. Whereas RadioPopper transmits the flash sequence verbatim over the air and then repeats it back to the slave flash, PocketWizard have chosen to interpret the TLL communication between the camera and the flash and then send it directly themselves.
The PocketWizard solution carries many advantages, but Rob Galbraith tells the story well so I won’t bother reiterating it.
That all said, I’m in the same sad place as I with the RadioPoppers – there’s no date annouced for the European version…
RadioPopper announcement causes Big Grin
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Yes, I’m grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
I use flash a lot, and the ability to control my remote flashes from my camera is very important. The latest annoucement from the RadioPopper team now has me on the edge of my seat.
