I am going into the woods this weekend (weather permitting) with my wife to shoot some shots of her trail running. These will be staged shots, not event photography, so I will have lots of flexibility. I am going to be using my simple Fuji X10 and will have a speedlight strobe with shoot through/bounce umbrella. I really loved chefs photo's from the cyclocross event and want to go for a similar "gritty look" these are the photos I have been looking at for inspiration: I am thinking shoot the tough triangle of wide angle/fast shutter/skinny aperture. I want to freeze the motion and see the environment. So crank up the iso a bit a lean on my strobe to light my wife. any tips or should of could of would of's from previous shoots I should know about? |

So crank up the iso a bit a lean on my strobe to light my wife. if you want to get this picture you're not going to want to shoot wide open/shallow DOF/"skinny aperture". i'd say mediumish ISO, no smaller (greater) than f5.6 (i'd personally do f11), maybe like 1/160 (just a total guess, depending on lighting, to freeze the action). your strobe will def help with a fast shutter and f11. it's going to be a bit of trial and error to get the exposure right. |

hmmm, maybe I am using the term wrong... When I said "skinny aperture" I meant high Fstop, like F8 or F11. Is the correct definition of "skinny" a more open aperture like f2 of f2.8? But, as far as the look I want, yep, that picture is what I am going for for sure. Minus the mountains But we should have beautiful color in the leaves. |

gotcha. well, to be fair i've never heard the term skinny aperture so i just figured it was a skinny focal plane lol. |

Here's a friend's (ex co-worker) website. I believe he has some tutorials as well. I think he left my work about 6 years ago to solely do his photography. http://ricklohre.com/blog/portfolio/ Not sure if it will help you or not, but I pass his page on along in hopes it can. |

These are the type of shots I want to add to my portfolio too. I've been mostly unsuccessful at races, need to work on this |

I found a video on youtube showing this picture: I linked to the important stuff, the beginning is just them driving to the location. They don't talk specifics, but you can at least see the shoot. http://youtu.be/XP1ZBPLGvro |

I was honestly surprised to find out the runner in that shot wasn't composited in. |
