    Day Two: BIF-3..... in full motion!!

    26 March 2011
    Drik Gallery, Dhaka, Bangladesh

    BIF-3 is rocking, not just Drik, but outside as well.... another great day..... the day started with an FM radio campaign on Radio Foorti.... Faisal Bhai and me went on air at 10:00AM to give an overview of TTL and BIF-3..... it was a pretty good exposure for the exhibit.... thanks goes to Radio Foorti for giving us the coverage.....





    it was the Independence Day..... and as expected, the day was pulling a big crowd.... there was hardly a moment during the day when the galleries were not full of people.... Anwar Hossain was there with us for the second day in a row.... our selector Andrew Biraj also spent the day with us.... and the best part of the day was the cake!!.... it was TTL's birthday!!..... a big cake, symbolizing the national flag was introduced.... and almost immediately, it became the most photographer cake ever!!..... the cake-cutting ceremony set the tone for the day..... it was a day of fun.....

    the outside weather changed during the evening and we had to remove all the images from the open-air gallery on the ground floor..... but our spirit remained high until the exhibit was closed right after 8:00PM..... the authorities literally had to throw us out..... but before that, we were able to exercise a bit of madness with lights and shadows......


    model: Xoaher
    D700 + 70-210mm @92mm; 1/400sec, f9, ISO 100
    Strobist info: 2 x SB-900 + 1 x SB-600 firing from camera left; TTL, high-speed sync; placed on ground; shielded by human shield formed by several TTL-ers so that the light doesn't spill on to the back wall, which was lit by many lights... well, it still did!! :O
    Editing: tilted the image around 90 degrees!! :O

    Strobist Experiment: High-speed Sync (Auto FP)

    always wanted to put the background out....... but struggled all throughout because of lack of background setups..... just made this discovery to shoot at very high shutter speeds (well beyond the camera's normal sync speed)..... this made the use of background completely redundant..... also used a snoot to give more directional light; avoiding light-spill on the background....... the background went completely dark even though it was a white wall just 3-feet behind the subject......

    loved this possibility...... would surely try out more using different setups....
