Nice job capturing this in tough lighting conditions! #1480452

Thanks Jeff. It gave me a chance to try out my speed light fully zoomed. #10276128

The POV really puts this guy up in the air. Nice capture - good detail and stop on the motion. #10277680

Nice work with the speed light, Dale. I have yet to master mine. He is really up there. How many outtakes do you have on this one? #10278869

Dale Hardin August 16, 2012

Thanks Debbie. Not nearly as many as keepers, which surprised me. I did make a mistake though, in that I figured the flash would stop all the action, but I still got some movement in the ambient light.

dale this is a great shot especially under the lighting condition and using your speed light. I can't think of any suggestions.

they are alot of fun to watch. #10280317

Yes-this is really a neat shot. I noticed also that even though you used a flash there was a little blur. I do think that is pretty neat though because it adds a bit of movement to the picture.

What kind of flash did you use? Seems like you were pretty close with the focal length... I am just wondering what are the limits of the flash as in shutter speed-1/200th?

Fun shot! #10281940
