Sportrait shoots

[Iain MacIntosh]

Hi, this is one from a shoot I setup of a local runner who got his first GB vest. Bloody cold so it was splash and flash kind of shoot as the poor bloke was freezing! Got more to process but this is first out the batch...

Another shoot from last week, again pretty cold day so no time for faffing around....client was pleased with it so job done. He wanted a nice pic of his sexy TT bike!

Both done using my new Skyports which I just love...sooo much better than Nikon CLS :thumbs:

I like the PP on these, the first is my fave though :)

[Noodles]

Nice shots really I like these. the first is my fave. I wonder if the guy in the shot is a good athlete or just now thinks the sun shines out of his A*$e..........i'll get me coat!!

[HIMUPNORTH]

Nice strobe work Iain. 1st one is a cracker for it's timing. Well done!

[InaGlo]

Agree with the above ... the processing really makes the images stand out out ... such wonderfully saturated colours. :thumbs:

[Ally]

Nice work Iain :thumbs: great things those flash units.

[Trev Rich]

would love to know how these are taken..
great, lovely shots there mate.
if i had to force a crit.. i would say i dont like the blown section in the middle of his top.

[Iain MacIntosh]

Cheers guys. The blown bit, tis a bit of lens flare. Its a high risk shot but worth it when it comes off.

Very nice looking bike, what are you talking, £5K ?

[Badger UK]

No criticism from me old boy. Both great shots. I'll bet the subjects were well chuffed. Excellent.

I wonder if the guy in the shot is a good athlete or just now thinks the sun shines out of his A*$e..........

That's the first thing I thought too when I saw the picture.

Both are really impressive shots, the first especially for the timing.

[Byrhtnoth]

Both great shots Ian :clap:
No2 my fav, lovely colours, fantastic lighting and pure porn on wheels :naughty:

[Rockshifter]

Fantastic shots.
No1 is the biz.
Great work !

[specialman]

The first shot is very 'ad campaign' for the likes of Nike, Adidas etc - great mood and you can just imagine some nifty strap lines on it for a trainer advert - top class

[frankee]

I love the first image, its amazing.

the 2nd image i love the lighting and i love the bike!!!!!!!!!

[Buttkicker]

Liking both of these
good work
cheers Chris

i also like the first one! good for movie covers. the effect of the light and the clouds on him made the package perfect!

[Hacker]

I missed these. Stunning portraits Iain, great use of light! :clap:

On a side note, I was flicking through the February 08 edition of Digital Photo Pro and there was a Pentax advertorial featuring 'Scottish based sports professional Iain MacKintosh' testing the Pentax K10D on a cycling event - I presume that was you!

[Iain MacIntosh]

Hi Hacker...yes you got me , it was I.
They called me up out of the blue asking if I would like to give the Pentax a run through and write up an article, I had the cyclo cross champs on that weekend so said ok.

Carrying 3 cameras and equipment around muddy fields was fun....but it was a nice little paying job, even though they spelt my name wrong!
Floated a few ideas to them for another article, nothing def so just have to wait and see.

I have that issue, its now in a plastic bag like a marvel comic, awaiting a signature before it goes on ebay! I reckon it must be worth as much as Spiderman No.1..... :)

[Iain MacIntosh]

Ha ha...I wish...or even you wish :lol:

Writing up a piece was a new expirence, not really my thing at all, after reading the D300 review I should have payed you to write it mate!!! :lol:
