August 2013 - Level 2 photography assignment - Hadouken Photography

**Marko** · 08-05-2013, 10:05 AM

Hi members,

The level 2 assignment this month is Hadouken Photography which seems to me is basically 2 or more people pantomiming an action shot and freezing that action.

Here is a link to Hadouken images to give those who have never heard of it a better idea.
here's a link to a Video done by digitalRev Tv to inspire you further. How to do "Hadouken" Photography - YouTube

Ok then - Who will post first

I guess it's only fitting that I post first since I suggested it. One of the reasons I suggested it is because you have to go out an make the image. You can't just stumble upon it while you are out for a walk. I was hoping to challenge everyone to get out and create the image. Imagine it in your mind and make it happen.

Here is my first attempt with my son and a friend. I have another idea in mind that I hope I can make happen in the not too distant future.

I played around with it this evening. The light was way too low, so I could not get my camera to speed. This is just a practice (mostly to see how my actresses would do) and by no means the final product

I like the play in your take AT - nice!

Sort of a copy of what's been done so far but here's mine.
(I have another idea coming)

Awesome AT and Marko! See, level two should be a bit more of a challenge. I hope others will jump in and try it out too... come on, gang!

Nicely done, everyone! AT, I think the slower shutter speed actually worked out well.

Going out shooting with some photographer friends tomorrow night--maybe I can recruit them...
