Triflash Bracket Ski Shooting

February 17, 2011 • Blog, Tech Tips

Last post I looked at the Lastolite Triflash Bracket and Radio Poppers used together to create a simple 3 speedlight flash set up. As mentioned earlier, I have full control of all my SB900 functions including high speed sync when using the Radio Poppers. And they greatly increase my signal range, especially on a sunny day where optical systems can get interference.

I put this to the test on a recent ski day at Copper Mountain.  We had a bluebird day and lots of great snow.  One image I really wanted to create was shooting a skier with a sun star behind them.  Without some fill flash, the skier would be very dark.  To solve this problem I used my Triflash Bracket set up.  I can take the baskets off my ski poles, so I popped the basket off one pole and attached the Triflash Bracket to this end.  I planted the handle end into the snow and aimed the flashes where my skier would be coming through.  Perfect.

Tech:  D300s, 14-24mm F6.3, 1/2000, speedlights shot in TTL high speed sync mode using Radio Poppers and Trilfash Bracket.
