Kora Kora Kora

I loved this shot of Brad Kora, taken with nothing more than two remotely triggered flash guns. Kora is a name usually associated with music here is Whakatane with most of the family seemingly all blessed with the musical gene but music is not the only talent the Koras are recognised for. Brad runs a growing mixed martial arts Dojo and the cage (as per pic) is a new addition.




I am often surprised at how great and eye catching images can be created when we take the time to remove the flash from the camera. So if your looking to take your photography to the next level, spend some time trolling the net for some of the numerous strobist sites and then take your flash off the camera and play.

For those who want to know, there were two Nikon SB800s, 2m either side of brad just above eye height and against the cage shooting manual at 1/8th power. The camera used spot for the metering duties, 1/250ths, ISO 200, f3.2. The 50mm 1.8 lens was used here, a great little lens.
