Lighting The Spirit with the New Elinchrom ELB 1200

I don’t think there is any other flash system on the market that can deal with the torture we dished out and survive—and there definitely isn’t any other system that is as versatile as the ELB 1200 - said Michael-

@rafaortizkayak cooling off in an alcove across from Spirit Falls while whitewater kayaking on the Little White Salmon river near White Salmon, Washington. This is a shot from my recent project Lighting the Spirit, shot for @elinchrom_ltd with the brand new ELB 1200s. I got some of the best images of my career on this shoot - can’t wait to share them. Stay tuned for more on this project... . . #elinchrom #elinchromelb1200 #elb1200 #lightingthespirit #spiritfalls #washington #whitewaterkayaking #littlewhitesalmon #littlewhitesalmonriver @redbullphotography

@rafaortizkayak dropping Spirit Falls on the Little White Salmon river in southern Washington state. On this assignment for @elinchrom_ltd and @redbullphotography I was asked to take the Elinchrom ELB1200 packs and create something stunning. With the help of Rafa Ortiz, @rushsturges and @liamfield9 we were able to craft a series of whitewater kayaking images that are some of the best images I have ever shot. The ELB 1200 was more than up to the task and they took a lot of punishment on this assignment, including being used in a fully running waterfall with nothing covering the unit. I was trying to kill one of the packs but couldn't. The only way I can see to kill one of the ELB1200s would be to toss it into the river and even then it might still keep working once it dried out. Read all about this epic assignment and see the behind the scenes video on the Elinchrom website at www.elinchrom.com. Elinchrom also just announced their stellar trade-in offer for those that own the Rangers. #elinchrom #elinchromelb1200 #lightingthespirit #rafaortiz #kayaking #spiritfalls #nikon @nikonusa #hisync #hs #redbullphotography #whitewaterkayaking #littlewhitesalmon

Another image from the @elinchrom_ltd ELB1200 shoot with @rafaortizkayak standing on a rock below Spirit Falls. We lit both the waterfall and Rafa using Hi-Sync lighting techniques. For the full story, visit the Elinchrom website at www.elinchrom.com. Also, stay tuned for the @redbull Chasing the Shot episode coming out tomorrow with a longer more in-depth behind the scenes video from this shoot. My thanks to the entire team for helping to create these images - @therealbillstengel for the behind the scenes footage and for putting together the BTS video on the Elinchrom website, @tombearphoto for assisting, @mrvphotography and @henao_photography for the BTS stills, and last but not least @rushsturges @liamfield9 and Rafa Ortiz for their incredible kayaking skills and talent. Thanks to all for working so hard on this project! @redbullphotography #elinchrom #elb1200 #elinchromelb1200 #spiritfalls #lightingthespirit #redbullphotography #whitewaterkayaking #littlewhitesalmon
