While I agree to some extent, I think as a photographer you should be responsible for releasing the work you want to be seen. No reason in releasing a bunch of ‘uneditied’ images if they aren’t going to be the final product. Also, like others have been saying, a little extra in the lighting department would go a long ways.

These pictures are as good as the ones that fstoppers posted of the guy wakeboarding indoors. The only issue is the photos needs some editing. I guarantee if you guys ran a contest on who can edit these photos the best that we would see some AHHHmazing stuff. Dont knock these guys until you see a final edited image!!!

The principle definitely works. Chemistry and electronics A+. Lighting needs work – lots of work but should not be too hard to get some visually stunning images.

This has SO MUCH potential… Neat idea though. Keep working on this, I’d love to see a follow up.

for one i would say PLEASE increase the subject to background distance….i mean they did say they’re leaving the shutter open and then just using the flash to achieve the exposure….with the flash that close, you could get f/8 at iso 100 at like 1/16 power….so you still have a wicked fast flash duration…….only the subject would be exposed properly…with no hideous shadows ruining the cleanliness of the photo… prob have to do the experiment at night…
