Amazing lighting!!

Thank you very much!

I gave this a good workout on vacation...about 700 shots and some really nice keepers. I can't stress enough: protect those highlights!! When shooting RAW you can really bring up the shadows, so the last thing you want to do is ETTR and blow the sun, clouds, etc. I was doing a good deal of bracketing (2 shots), but after checking the histogram often, I finally just started shooting -1/3ev the whole time and I'm glad I did.

Awesome camera!!!

We live in interesting times

After 15 years of ETTR, of trying to eek out every last drop of DR/noise handling/shutter speed vs. ISO setting, we can truly have our cake and eat it too.

I noticed right away the 5D4 can blow highlights easily. My normal shooting in sunlight conditions without strobes is -2/3 EC. I can boost the shadows up several stops if need be but try to stick to something a bit natural by keeping it to around 1-2 stops increase in shadow and not really more than that.

Yep I've been shooting -1/3 on my 5D4 since I got it

I think that light coming from the right would have been better if it were coming from the left. You have the sun setting on the left, could have looked a bit more natural with the strobe coming from the same direction as the only light source in the scene.

I see what you're saying. Generally for these I fill from the opposite side of my highlight/kicker. I'll have to experiment next time with the main on the same side. Thanks for the kind critique.

Nice photos

I know nothing about bike photography, one thing that struck me was, and this just my opinion... I think The product shots would look better without the bike lift holding it up. I have no idea how you would not use one, but it just struck me that they would look better for some reason.

Hope you don't mind me saying that.

Following on Flickr!! Excellent work

Not offended at all! Wish I knew how I could pull that off. Bikes are pretty heavy, and the smallest thing that I could have used to have it stand like it's on it's own would be a triangle stand that I could have photoshopped out, but even then then bike would be leaning at an angle. I was in a big rush because this was the first project I worked on solely by myself so I showed up early, which was apparently late at the same time to the rest of the media that was there. The rider that I was working with is a multi time champion (Tyler Bowers) and I'm just a hobbyist helping out an industry buddy. I didn't want to hold the rider up so I worked as fast as I could to get some static shots of the bike so he could get out and ride it. Thanks for the constructive criticism!
