              [Contest Entry] Shooting The BYU Gymnastics Team Soaking Wet

              We are still making our way through all 179 contest entries and posting our favorites as we come to them. I’m a big fan of the BYU Photo Team’s shoot below which involved shooting the girls with splashing water. By soaking the gymnasts right before they jump, the team is able to capture the motion of their moves with the water. By placing the models on a black background and then lighting them from behind, the water really stands out and the final images look fantastic.

                Thanks guys, we’re glad that you enjoyed it. We used Eye-Fi cards and the Shuttersnitch App on our iPad to import the images. We’ve created a behind the scenes post on our blog that explains the whole setup and shows more images, check it out at: http://photo.byu.edu/pages/water-gymnastics-poster

                Just goes to show how versatile those relatively cheap Einstein’s can be…  I mean seriously why chuck all that hard earn cash to Profoto or such likes.   Great freeze action and beautiful post.
