Thanks — that was very helpful. In addition to wanting to know your lighting set-up, it made me want to cycle again. I was heavy into it a few years ago then had my ACL replaced (which I ripped on a missions trip in Ghana), then my parents died, then I started back to school but 2011 hopefully will be a return. My goal is the Seagull Century in Oct. Since training takes a lot of time, I want to get a good point and shoot to put in my jersey pocket — one that I could possibly do school assignments with — maybe one of the Leica’s — what do you know about them?

Hi Linda,

The lighting setup was quite simple. It was a cloudy day in the early AM hours. The sun was at my back, when it was showing. The warm light produced by the early morning fall sun provided a warm tone, great for the skin tones.

In addition to the sun, I had my 580EX Canon Speed light mounted to the Canon 5D, pointed up at 75º with the bounce card extended. I had the exposure on the flash set to -1/3 as to provide a soft fill for the shadows.

I was standing about 15 feet away from my subjects shooting through my Canon 70-200 2.8L series lens.

Thanks for asking.

Hi Linda, yes the title of this image is Dis-contiguous and the Hebrew reference was inspiration.

This is part of a larger series.

John, is Dis-contiguous your image? and Heb 4:12 was your inspiration?
Is this part of a body of work?

For your cycling team and individual shots, can you describe your lighting setup? thanks

Thanks Kevin. Teaching is as art, one constantly undergoing change and needed improvement. I appreciate that you took the time to comment.

I’ve heard great things about Singh-Ray filters but I don’t have any. They are a bit expensive.
