Hi, I'm creating this open thread to everyone who'd like to share pictures showing some strobe usage on their x-system. Here's my first contribution, with a sample from a editorial photography photoshoot for a sponsored bodybuilder who participated on FIBO 2015, in Germany. Simple setup, with 2x YN560III triggered from a YN560TX mounted on my X100S (yes, the 100S can also be helpful in situations like these, with the "leaf shutter" technology - and yes, it's a great camera for all pruposes, not necessarily directed for street photography). I used a high shutter speed to kill as much as i can the ambient light and also to give to the model some structure with very hard transitions between shadows and lit areas. The main light was fired from a 80cm silver umbrella (slightly folded) to ensure the light beam was slightly narrow and perfectly diffused, and the second light was placed in the top of the stairs, not only for composition, but also to give some rim light on him. Share your pictures, discuss techniques and gear and happy shootings
