30 sec exposure made this really hard, because the batteries for the radio transmitter were dead. All strobes were fired manually. Here's how it was done:
1. I stood in front of the camera with softbox to the left (580EXII 1/2 CTO). Friend presses the shutter then fires flash at the softbox.
2. We both ran away from the camera while firing two flashes at the branches/leaves.
3. Friend gets in place (silhoette) while I ran behind him and fired a flash once to the right of him, repositions, and then once to the left.
In hindsight I should've added a flash right behind me to resemble the light from the "car" onto my jacket.

very nice cinematic image, with just a few quibbles. I feel like the main subject is a bit squeezed in the frame, with a bit too much light up in the trees in the upper right. very nice concept and balance. Top ten
