Shooting Mountain Biking with Off Camera Flash

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on October 9, 2013 by DanOctober 9, 2013

MBK-AK-01072

Last week I posted a few photos from a recent adventure biking photo shoot that I did with my friend Eric Parsons.

Taking advantage of beautiful sunny fall day in Alaska, we rode a few miles back into the mountains, and then hiked with our bikes up to a pristine alpine ridge.

In addition to some great outside time, our intention was to shoot some shots for Eric’s bike bag company, Revelate Designs. He’d scoped out this particular location before, and so it was just a matter of waiting for the weather and our schedules to coordinate. Both of us like to operate on the fly, so for two guys who live less than a mile apart, it’s surprising that we don’t get out together more often these days.

Knowing that we’d be pushing and hiking with the bikes uphill, I took along my regular adventure photography kit, which consisted of a DSLR, my Nikon 24mm f2.8 lens and my Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR Telephoto Zoom, my favorite new lens in about a decade, I also took along an ultra lightweight lighting kit, which consisted of the following:

  • Nikon SB-800 speedlight
  • Lumiquest Softbox III
  • Joby Gorillapod

The SB-800 was considered by many to be Nikon’s best all around Speedlight, but since it’s no longer made, I recommend the SB-700, which is acomparable flash to the 800 for this kind of shooting, and certainly lighter and more portable than the The SB-910. For Canon users, the Speedlite 430EX II is probably the ideal affordable choice.

Setting up in an ideal spot op of the ridge, I fixed the flash to the Gorillapod, which is so light and versatile that it pretty much goes everywhere with me. Then I had Eric ride by while I shot with the 24mm f2.8 lens. For the photo below, I used Aperture Priority mode, 1/80 @ f/13, and panned with the action to get a sharp subject in front of a slightly blurred background.

I triggered the flash by using the on board pop-up flash as a Nikon CLS flash commander. For shooting this close to the subject, the pop-up flash works fine as a flash controller and it saves me the weight of having to carry separate triggering units or another flash. I just have to make sure the optical sensor on the flash can ‘see’ the light from my camera flash. Also, when I set the commander, I make sure that my pop-up flash is only firing the monitor pre-flashes that talk to the the remote, off-camera flash because I don’t want any extra light from the camera flash to hit the subject.MBK-AK-01290

MBK-AK-01291

MBK-AK-01281However, as you can see, the first shot above is a little too bright. The light is too strong on the subject and the shadows are a little too hard. It practically yells “FLASH!” That’s no good. You want the flash to be invisible.

Even using the plastic dome diffuser and dialing the flash power a little bit wasn’t giving me the look I wanted, so I stuck on the Lumiquest Softbox III, which is a small, extremely portable flash diffuser that fits right in the shove-it pocket of my pack. It’s so light that I don’t even know it’s there.

As small as it is, though, it spreads the light out in a surface area that is about 20 times larger than the flash head. This is how diffuser works; the larger the light gets spread out, the softer it is when it hits the subject.

Essentially, diffusing the light softens the shadows and  pulls the light into the background. It’s not so obvious, especially in the outdoors, where there’s not supposed to be any external light. The more you can make your flash blend into the natural scene while still lighting up your subject enough to make them pop from the background, the more realistic your photos will look.

Here’s the final shot below, which was made with the Lumiquest Softbox III. I used the same shutter speed/aperture combo, but instead of panning, I held the camera steady. This gives the look of the biker speeding against a still background, more of an action photography feel. In addition, I felt that this was a good approach since the background environment was so stunning.

Lumiquest Location/Portrait Lighting Kit

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on November 1, 2012 by DanNovember 1, 2012

When it comes to gear that lets you go fast with light, you can’t beat Lumiquest for super lightweight flash modifiers. Seriously. There’s nothing that packs up smaller and gives you more bang for your buck and weight than their Softbox III. No matter where I go, if I leave the house with a flash, then I always take the SB III with me.

At PhotoPlus Expo this year, I got to check out the new Lumiquest Location/Portrait Kit. It’s a very simple collection, comprised of their SB III, their Snoot XTR, the FXtra gel kit and two UltraStraps, all packed into a handy carrying case that fits in just about any laptop case, camera bag or backpack.

With this kit, you’ve got a modifier for your main light, a snoot for narrowly focused accent lighting, and a gel kit that lets you add flavor to your backgrounds or throw a touch of warmth on your subject.

With a little bit of lighting knowhow and some creativity, you can do a lot with these very simple tools, and the two best things about it is that it’s affordable, and it all fits in one case. I know, I keep raving about the case, because my snoot and FXtra usually just swim around in the top lid of my pack. Gotta get me one of those cases!

The Lumiquest Location/Portrait Kit is great for beginning flash users as well as for fast moving photographers who want studio quality light without added weight. Plus, Lumiquest is a great company and I like to support them. They’re really nice people and they stand behind their products with a full guarantee.

Alaska Portrait – Shot with the Lumiquest Softbox III

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on April 3, 2012 by DanApril 3, 2012

This past weekend, I shot an assignment on a frozen lake in front of a glacier. The client wanted the shots to look “uniquely Alaskan,” so I chose a location that no one would mistake for someplace else like New Hampshire or Colorado.

With a mix of blue and slightly overcast skies, and the world’s biggest reflector at our feet, the light was actually quite good for most of the action shots. However, for the portraits, I wanted a little more zing in the shots, so I broke out the speedlights.

Since I was going fast with light in my traditional Dan Bailey style, I only had a couple of small light modifiers with me. This image above was shot with single flash on a sync cord and a Lumiquest Softbox III, which is an awesome, ultra lightweight, foldable diffuser. When packed up, it takes up less room than a FedEx envelope.

The SB III does a great job killing harshness and adding a bit more drama to your photographs. Slightly underexposing the background by -1/3 stop to a full stop under can also enhance the look of your shots even more. Experiment. Play. Be creative.

For this shot above, I used a Nikon SB-800 TTL mode with straight Aperture priority exposure. Watch this video below to see the Softbox III in use, and a comparison of no flash, straight flash and diffused flash.

Right now, you can save $15 on Lumiquest gear (orders over $50) by visiting the Lumiquest Store and using discount code SOCIAL MEDIA in your shopping cart.

Lyrics: 

Christmas this year looks a whole lot different
'cause we all gotta be a little socially distant
Can't go shopping, can't get on a plane
I miss my family, it just don't seem the same
I'm stuck at home with the one I love
It's been the way for the past nine months
Just you and me, this year we're laying low
Watching holiday reruns of our favorite shows

We'll make some new traditions and call 'em our own
dance beneath he mistletoe
this year we'll have a very very cozy Christmas.

We'll hang our stockings by the chimney with care
Get a little tree and put it right over there
Santa will know just where to put our stuff
But as long as you're here I don't need very much 
Our scaled down Christmas will be better than fine
Cause we have each other and our favorite wine
They'll be love all around and lots of new toys
This small celebration will be full of joy!

We'll make some new traditions, call 'em our own
Dancing beneath he mistletoe
You and I will have a very very cozy Christmas

No holiday parties, and nowhere to go
At least we've got plenty of snow
Some fresh cut logs in burning in the stove
And Brian Setzer Christmas on the radio!

We'll make some new traditions, call 'em our own
Dancing beneath the mistletoe
You and I will have a very very cozy Christmas

Playing outside when it's 20 below
Drinking hot cocoa decorating our home
This year will have a very very cozy Christmas

In this short film, I take you along with me during a summer hike out to an Alaskan glacier and give you a virtual adventure tour of this wild place. Set to original music.

The Lake George Glacier is one of large ice fields in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. I've explored this area a number of times over the years, and it's always an amazing sight to behold. During this summer's visit, I was struck at how much the glacier has receded in a very short time frame. Three years ago, I was able to walk right out on the ice, but now, the edge of the ice lies hundreds of feet away from the surrounding hillsides and it's much lower in elevation.

Check out this blog post to see the dramatic difference in the ice levels compared to a few years ago: https://danbaileyphoto.com/blog/hiking-on-the-lake-george-glacier-alaska/

So, this is a little different... Today, I release So, this is a little different... Today, I released, what is essentially my debut album. I also started a music blog to chronicle and share my own geeky ideas about music and guitar, since those things are such enormously important parts of my life. I’ve been a guitar player for longer than I’ve been a photographer, and I studied music recording and production at @berkleecollege of music. And, with the crazy year we’ve had, I’ve decided that my life is too short to not try and make as much music as I can going forward. 

My brand new album, “Seven Years” is a collection of newly remastered guitar oriented instrumentals I recorded between 2000-2007. Those seven years represent the evolution, and the beginnings of my experiments and learning experience with songwriting and digital recording. You can listen and read my music blog in my profile link.
