mock fmp- photography tips, flashes.

So the first tip for flashes in bmx and any sports photography is the 45/45 setup. Basically where you have two flashes either side of the camera both pointing 45 degrees towards the subject/rider. This creates a cross lighting effect which will evenly light the rider thus making the rider pop out of the background. the amount all depending on the power levels your running your flashes.

the second tip is to place one flash at the back of the shot and pointing it directly at the rider using it as a rim light. for example -

ignore the yellow text box. but you can clearly see that the flash is placed just in front of those bushes behind the full pipe. 

tip 3, if you only have 1 flash try pointing it towards the front side of the rider, seeing the subjects face is key in any type of sports photography.
