Could it keep shooting under extreme cold?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\">Tweet<\/a> <script src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Guest author: Dan Bailey<\/p>\n<p>Anchorage, Alaska: The hearty souls who live here don\u2019t experience very long or warm days in the wintertime, but that doesn\u2019t stop them from being active outside, even after the sun has gone down. This is especially true for outdoor photographer Dan Bailey, who is masterfully adept at capturing the essence of Alaska and its adventurous inhabitants. In addition to learning how the PhotoFlex TritonFlash holds up under extreme conditions, you will learn how to take outdoor pictures with a flash when it&#8217;s really, really cold.<\/p>\n<p>Going Fast with Light<br \/>\nAs an adventure and action photographer, the most important thing for me is traveling light. My shooting style revolves around using minimal gear, even when I&#8217;m using remote lighting. In fact, my mantra with using strobes is that I go Fast With Light.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pftfxsonxtk.html\">Photoflex TritonFlash<\/a>\u2122 certainly fits that criteria. When the components of the kit are broken down (flash head, swivel, lithium ion battery pack, XS OctoDome, OctoConnector, cable and wireless trigger kit), the TritonFlash\u2122 easily fits into my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lppr300awbk.html\">Lowepro Pro Runner 300 AW photo backpack<\/a>, and that\u2019s with my main camera gear! I strap a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pflslw.html\">small light stand<\/a> to the side of the pack and I\u2019m good to go!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_0.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Location<br \/>\nAfter deciding I wanted to take some shots of my friend, Abby, skate skiing, I chose a local park not far from my house\u2014specifically, an open hillside that had good exposure to the sun. I\u2019d shot there before, so I knew the layout of the place. When we got there, the temperature was around -3\u00b0 F. At least, that\u2019s what it was showing at my house, so it could very well have been colder.<\/p>\n<p>We warmed up with some natural light setups. I stood back with the 80-200mm lens and had Abby ski back and forth in front of a couple of snow covered pine trees while I snapped off a few dozen frames.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nWhen the sun started to dip below the trees, we regrouped and got ready to do some shots with the strobe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nSetting up the TritonFlash\u2122 Kit<br \/>\nAs someone who\u2019s used to using off-camera <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nksb910afu.html\">Nikon Speedlights<\/a> in my fast and light style, I find the TritonFlash\u2122 to be remarkably portable. Here, you can see the components of the kit laid out.<\/p>\n<p>\nSetting up the TritonFlash\u2122 only takes a few minutes. First, you remove the OctoDome\u00ae NXT soft box from its nylon case, lay out its diffusion faces, and have the Connector within reach.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nYou then place each of the 8 rods of the OctoDome\u00ae into the Connector and then attach the interior baffle and front diffusion face to the OctoDome\u00ae. I typically just leave those two pieces of diffusion on all the time, which makes for faster setup time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nOnce the OctoDome\u00ae assembly is complete, you place the TritonFlash\u2122 onto your light stand, remove the protective cover from the front of the strobe and attach the OctoDome\u00ae to the head with a quick slide and turn action, and then tighten it down.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_7.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To add the power source, you plug one end of the connector cable to the battery pack and the other to the side of the TritonFlash\u2122. Finally, you plug the receiving unit of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pfflashfire.html\">FlashFire\u2122 wireless trigger<\/a> (or any other wireless trigger system) into the TritonFlash\u2122 and stick the transmitter onto your camera hot shoe. Then simply fire a test shot to make sure everything is synced up.<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you\u2019re quick, the entire setup takes less than 10 minutes. It probably goes a lot faster if you\u2019re hands aren\u2019t freezing cold. I can\u2019t wait to use this kit in the summer! At this point, I\u2019d settle for just about anything over 10 degrees F!<\/p>\n<p>\nExposure and Test Shots<br \/>\nMy goal with this shot was to shoot a well lit skier in front of the rich, post sunset background. In order to preserve the background, I put my camera on Manual Exposure mode and metered on the sky above the trees. I used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pwwpt2.html\">Pocket Wizard wireless transmitter<\/a> and receiver and set my shutter\/sync speed to 1\/250th of a second. At ISO 400, my aperture was around f\/4.5.<\/p>\n<p>\nOnce I had my ambient exposure set, I marked out the path that I wanted Abby to take and then positioned the TritonFlash\u2122 so that it would hit her at about a 40-45 degrees angle. I placed it about 6-8 feet away from her, at a height of around five feet.<\/p>\n<p>At short distances, the 18\u201d OctoDome\u00ae NXT produces a nice blast of light with great definition. I could have placed it closer, but I knew that I\u2019d have to work harder to keep it out of frame when she skied by, and at -3\u00b0 F in the dark, I like to make things easy. Any further away, and the light would scatter too much and start to get a bit too direct.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_8.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_9.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_10.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I hunkered down in the snow on the other side of the rise, so that I could frame Abby against the sky, and shot her as she skied up the little hill towards me. The TritonFlash\u2122 kept up pretty well. Recycle times were surprisingly short, considering that it was below zero, which is where most AA battery flash units would get very sluggish or give out completely. The TritonFlash\u2122 did not get sluggish. While it wasn\u2019t able to continuously fire at 6 fps in those conditions, it kept firing and never died. Note, in warm weather tests, I\u2019ve gotten the TritonFlash\u2122 to fire 6 frame bursts at 6fps. Recycle times vary with flash power and temperature.<\/p>\n<p>\nWe shot quite a few frames, and you can see how much of a difference the TritonFlash\u2122 makes in this situation. Without it, I\u2019d have nothing more than a silhouette.<\/p>\n<p>\nDon\u2019t get me wrong, I like the silhouette look here, but it\u2019s not what I was going for. The TritonFlash\u2122 fully illuminates the skier and still allows me to preserver the rich colors of the background sky.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_11.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Challenges<br \/>\nOf all the sports that I\u2019ve photographed, I\u2019ve found skate skiing to be one of the most challenging. Unless you get the skier in the exact right portion of the stride, you often get awkward body positions, not to mention arms and hands that stick way up in front of the skier as they bring their poles up. To eliminate shadows caused by her hands, I raised the TritonFlash\u2122 up to about 7.5 feet on the light stand, so that the light came down more from above than directly from the side. This seemed to help.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_12.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nPortrait with Hand Held Strobe<br \/>\nWhen I felt I\u2019d gotten enough good frames from that setup, we took a break to get warm and and then set out to grab a quick portrait before we lost all the light.<\/p>\n<p>\nBy then, it was getting really cold, well below the -3\u00b0 F when we began the shoot, but still no complaining from the TritonFlash\u2122. When shooting in these conditions, I keep the power pack inside a down pouch, which helps keep it somewhat warm. (Note: in below zero temps, the wireless triggers will die long before the TritonFlash\u2122 itself will.)<\/p>\n<p>\nI wanted to make this as easy as possible, so I took the TritonFlash\u2122 off the stand and held it in my off hand while I shot one handed. The main problem that I ran into, was that in the dark, the camera\u2019s auto-focus wouldn\u2019t track.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_13.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nTo get around this, I used the 10 second modeling light feature in the TritonFlash\u2122 to illuminate my subject, which allowed me to lock the focus point right before I pressed the shutter.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn those 15 minutes, I kept telling Abby, \u201cI only need one good one!!&#8221; Despite our freezing hands and faces, I did manage to snap one. I held the TritonFlash\u2122 (1\/64 power) at full arm\u2019s length off to the side, and pointed it upwards to help reduce and soften the direct light as much as I could, since I was shooting at 1\/20th of a second at f\/4, ISO 2000 on the Nikon D700. This helped to preserve the dark background, and get appealing light on the subject.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/alc_images\/article13583_14.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Final Notes<br \/>\nIn the end, we got good shots from both setups and confirmed that the TritonFlash\u2122 will keep pumping out light for well over an hour in sub zero temperatures. With the TritonFlash\u2122, I have a new mantra now: Going Cold With Light!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Photographed and written by Dan Bailey<\/p>\n<p>To see more of Dan&#8217;s work, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/wwww.danbaileyphoto.com\">danbaileyphoto.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nRelated Products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pftfxsonxtk.html\">Photoflex Triton Flash Lithium Battery Powered 300 Watt Second Strobe Kit with Extra Small OctoDome SoftBox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pfsbtritonkt.html\">Photoflex TritonFlash Kit, 300 W\/s Strobe Head &amp; Lithium-ion Battery Pack, 35W Modeling Lamp<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nk80200afnu.html\">Nikon 80-200mm f\/2.8D ED AF Zoom-Nikkor Lens with Bracket &amp; Case &#8211; with 5 Year U.S.A.
