Would love to see you say that to their face and the mayhem that would follow.

I'm glad to see you base a woman's beauty on her appearance and not the true grit, determination, dedication and ability to put her insecurities on the sidelines to kick some derby ass.

But hey... comments like that are probably what motivates them to do what they do. These women may not be on the cover of a fashion or glamour magazine, but they're beautiful in their own way.

If there was a middle finger smiley I'd post it at you.

Oh gimme a break. It was a joke. Get over your righteous self, please.

There was nothing self-righteous about my reply. Your "ugly" comment was completely uncalled for and had no relevance on the photos. Posting up an article you wrote about roller-derby doesn't justify your original statement.

I'll gladly discuss this in a PM if you'd like instead of thread-jacking his photo thread.

@Bsmotril - multiple strobes or single placement with fill from camera? My favorite is the Sarah Hipel shot.

No need for PM or discussion. You made your point, I tried to make mine. There doesn't seem to be any problem with saying a model is hot or sexy, but call one ugly, and the feministic defense mechanism comes flying out. Double standard much?

Anyways, I like the pics, you've definitely captured the feel for these.

Single 580EXII on camera now, but Pocket Wizard Mini and Flex5 on order for the future. I've been looking at what Joe Rollerfan Schwartz does on the west coast with a couple of off camera speedlights and he is getting some fantastic results with the higher shutter speeds you can use with the Pocket Wizards Hypersync.

Love Em

Some cracking shots Bill, looks like you had quite a bit of light in there.

i had a quick look at Joe Rollerfan of flickr, and I see what you mean, he has some awesome shots, pity I have neither the skill or cash for a mulit strobe wireless set up :( but look forward to seeing what sort of images you get when the kit is here.

I talk with Joe quite a bit about his setup and it's not too elaborate but he gets awesome photos. Most of the time he's using 2 580's in the turns with the Flex/Mini setup. I've got the exact setup that he does other than the AC3 controller but I'm still trying to fine tune my settings.

If you're on Facebook send me a pm...we have a group for derby photogs to discuss stuff.

I use it minimally and don't post any pics up there. I link the derby pics for the derby ladies to go download.

Dood, you read my mind. As I'm going through the shots, they just keep getting worse! Not the photography, which is pretty sharp, BTW, but more what I'm looking at.
