The French finale of the Red Bull Street Style took place Wednesday 16th of December at Forum Des Halles, an emblematic place for urban cultures in the heart of Paris. A cheering crowd witnessed the 16 competitors battling against each other in front of an exceptional jury composed among others of World Champion Séan Garnier and soccer superstar Edgar Davids. Andreas Cetkovic proved to be the best and will represent France beside Séan Garnier at the international finale in South Africa in April 2010.

The last time i concentrated to test the new Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 and Mini TT5

For the first test my „little“ dog „Disco“ had to be my model.

I seted up two little flashes left and right of „Disco“ on a lightstand and a little white reflector from front.

On the Flex TT5 i mounted a 550 EX Canon flash and set it on TTL. With a kabel i connected an other 550 EX to the same Flex TT5 and set it also on TTL.
On the final shot you can see the different between using Flex TT5 (left)and Multimax (right)
In these shots you can see FP/High Speed Sync in action
The background completely dropped out of focus and about 2 stops under exposed

with f 3,2 and 1/3200 th i could freeze the waterdrops and the background dropped out of focus
