I've seen more than you for sure. But I don't see any here, just some bush fire :bsmilie:

i've been reading CS since 2006...

espn... student? ring any bells?
 

After 3 pages of replies, it seems that nobody has elaborated on the below, in a language which can be understood by newbies...

"Single exposure. Multiple images created with custom flash synchronization and multiple flash heads."
"Single exposure, combination time exposure with tungsten spotlight and electronic flash to freeze the end pose."

This thread has side tracked too far from its original purpose...

This is a thread for newbies to get a warm welcome from the community of Clubsnap, isn't it not?

I think this one must use drawings to make the concept easy to understand for most.
 

yea... you should've seen student... wah.

ok no OT or we will kena.

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting up with him but have seen his posts.
what's your point? flame war?.....we don't need any here.

ESPN now is moderator liao. Student graduate and took up fencing.

So what you trying to say that you've been reading CS since 2006? You're an 'old bird' who can 'order' mods to close thread and ask members to make peace but still need your mummy to pay for all your fancy gears?

I've been reading combat book since I'm 12, that will make me a war veteran :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
 

lol 4 pages.. anyhow, is there a name for the techniques used?

regardless. i think this noob/pro/senior hierarchy is a deadweight in clubsnap, especially in a photographic forum environment. I feel that sometimes, our forum has not been as dynamic or vibrant because of hierarchy.

The label for being an 'old bird' or 'pro' or g'reenhorn' is redundant cuz nobody really knows how pro you are or how noob you are. You might know how to set up multiple strobes or know your way around astrophotography, but where does the 'pro/noob' label really end?

What's really more important is that people be forthcoming in teaching/learning from each other, and promoting the sort of environment that is beneficial to local photography.

People who start READING CS since 2006 can all be consider as 'old bird' or 'pro'.

Sorry for the OT statement above, I agree with your comment fully :thumbsup:
But sometime not realistic to achieve cause 'artists' are known to have weird tempers :bsmilie:
 

Guys .... this is the Newbies Corner, so let's be more understanding.:dunno:

There are new newbies, average newbies and lau newbies.
Remember when we first started, we asked, "what's this Aperture thingy?" :rolleyes:
So, IMHO, if you hate to read silly questions, do not come in here unless you want to help around ... and plse be more polite to the newbies.

Ok I try to explain the technique. Sorry I don't know the name, but that's of little importance, isn't it? Most important is the result.

For the first sentence, it is explaining a SINGLE EXPOSURE (one single opening and closing of the shutter) in which the subject moves from start position to the end, but is illuminated at certain intervals by a flash. Obviously the whole sequence is only a second or 2, and no normal flash can fire so many shots so rapidly, so multiple flashes were used.
 

For the second photo
"Single exposure, combination time exposure with tungsten spotlight and electronic flash to freeze the end pose."
The subject is being constantly lit with a tungsten (i.e. filament) light during the sequence, thus showing a smooth 'flow' in the movement.
The brighter flash at the very end allows the camera to 'freeze' the final posture.

hope that's clear enough... in plain english.

Multiple flashes were used and their firing are pre-synchronized as mentioned by the photographer. The firing of the flashes help to freeze the action at certain positions. If anyone has seen the setup of how the 360 effects are created in The Matrix, the idea is something like that.
