Me lying in gutter at bottom of a wall looking up.
Kids doing flips over the wall from the other side! Crazy, yes...
Thank you for your vote.

Thank you. Next time I may try some bigger strobes so I can cut out more of the ambient and freeze the motion. It will be different, not necessarily better...

It was a lot of fun. These kids were great athletes and they were thrilled that a photographer came out to shoot them.

Thank you. Since I was using flash and firing sequences I was limited to the maximum flash sync speed of 1/250th. I actually wanted a little bit of blur, for the sense of motion, but agree that fully frozen would have been interesting too.

I wish I was this good at compositing! Just athletes jumping over a wall and global contrast and vibrance adjustments, which I take to be legal as per the Challenge Rules: "You may saturate, desaturate or change the colors of your entry, but no selections are allowed."

Thank you.
I was lying in the gutter at the bottom of a wall - the wall provided some shade, to help my speedlights compete with the sun.
Used maximum sync speed of 1/250th at iso 100 to 'kill' the ambient... hah! all I managed was pale blue.
two speedlights - one (key light) to the right at 1/4 power (because I was shooting sequences); one to the left at 1/2 power to try to get a rim light - both fired with yongnuo radio triggers.
many, many, ... many jumps
default import setting in Lightroom plus I increased contrast and vibrance

Neat shot, I'd be interested to know how you did it. Framing is great, love the diagonal, motion blur is just right. Cool! |

Thank you. I thought lying in the gutter would qualify as a unique angle!

| this shot was undderated; it is rare when you have a cool effect that is done with neat purpose- not just to show off technical ability. |

| Very well done. The lighting on your main subject is very good, and the perspective is very creative. |
