It must be tough being a marble :/

Anyone know how to trigger a Sony/Minolta flash? Or are they triggered digitally?

ITT, post some high speed/freeze photography

i'm assuming the flash is front on?

it looks really bad that way, it could've been done much better

image looks really poor right now, it's like, point-and-shoot quality

missing some pop to it

Needs more contrast and saturation

at 1/1000, you're way past your sync speed

you don't need extrem fast shutter speed to freeze action if you have a big ass flash

Needs more DOF and a much better flash.

Hopefully i'll get to repeat again with a few changes.

Flash is slightly off axis, virtually nothing.

More pop would be...?

i think the DOF works

the flash just needs to be less harsh

that's already better, what did you change

pop, like how you can spot the difference between a point-and-shoot photo and a real camera, it's lacking that special thing

I was getting blur from ambient light. If theres another way to do it please tell

I'll try a few different DOF's and diffuse the flash, horrid spot on the marbles = yuck

>>180779
Flash is nearly at 45º from the lens axis, cropped and played with contrast/saturation more. Same exif as others.
Understood the pop part :3

I'd suggest if you've got the resources get some strobes and shoot with those, much better for these kinds of shots than a flash any day. Like maybe two diffused ones on each side of you and one behind your background, whatever you're using.
