What's your camera, lens and flash set up for these photos? Are you using a monopod with the flash mounted down low to get the light under the helmet?

Just wondering if you intentionally have the picture on an angle or not. I like to straighten all my photos, unless it complements the picture. Usually where there is a horizon, road or object that shows that the camera wasn't level, Ill straighten it out.

Sweet picture. I love the intensity in the face!

Camera - 7d
Lens - 300 2.8
Flash - 580 ex II
iso 800
Monopod with flash mounted low and was shooting from my knees. The flash is set to ETTL and and the speed is 1/250

I went out with a friends 550ex and it doesn't go past 105mm while using my 70-200 f4. Was there a lot of available light and the flash is just filling the shadows? I didnt get very good results with it.

And do you use another power source? That 550ex wouldnt recycle fast enough and I may be able to get two shots while in burst mode.

Thanks,
Jeremy
