This photo was taken on Scottish Rolling’s recent trip to Barcelona. We were lucky enough to be staying in an apartment just around the corner form the famous Forum ledges, which was ideal as it made for the perfect spot to hit at night and shoot some photos, as we could just walk there. This is definitely the hardest spot I’ve ever had to light in terms of skating shots, but I had to get by with the equipment I brought with me which was two Vivitar 285HVs. I must have spent between 10-15 minutes setting up for this shot, the reason being having to take several test shots and adjust the powers on my flashes numerous times. The flash placement was one Vivitar just out of shot to the left at the bottom of the ledge around 6ft high on 1/4 power, and the second flash was hand held high up, just out of shot to the right, directly in line with the ledge on 1/2 power. This photo was taken with an aperture of ƒ4.5, a shutter speed of 1/160, and an ISO of 400. The shot was taken while I was standing on top of one of the ledges further along, which didn’t feel very safe, so I wanted to get the shot done as quickly as possible after I was up there. — David Andrew
