Stop Action

Photograph something in action that you can’t see with the naked eye. Use a camera and flash combination on manual attached to the hot shoe or the off camera cord. The flash should be dialed down to 1/16 power or less in order to achieve a flash duration of 1/10,000 or less. Examples are splashing water or stopping a fans blades with a ribbon attached. I want these images super sharp with no blurs.

Canon Transmitter ST-E3=RT and 600EX-RT Flash

Work in Groups in the Studio for this Assignment.
Each member of the group should make a portrait using 3 Speedlites from different directions, controlled manually from the Transmitter attached to the camera which is also set on manual. Each member of the group should make a unique lighting setup. You can modify the light coming from the 600EX to a broad source of light by using diffusion, umbrella, soft box or bouncing off a wall or card. You can also use the light directly.

Set the Master to GR and set A, B, C and D (Optional) to M.
The three slaves will set themselves to M after the test button on the transmitter is pressed. Use the ST-E3-RT to adjust the setting manually.

Take a picture of the ambient light in the room at the fstop and shutter speed you will be using. It should come out black. Post this picture with it's settings.

Post the the progression of images (ie one light, 2 lights, 3 lights etc) with final exposure for each shot (should all be the same)
