Cycling at Sunset

What do you get when you combine 2 strobes, 2 CTO gels, and a cloudy sky after the sun went down? This, I guess. Both strobes are snooted to make some nice hard light. The most difficult part of this was shooting at 1/20 of a second without blurring the tree in the background.

Here's another, much farther away, and with the grass lit up a little bit:

The shadows give away the direction on the light, but that's OK, I like it like that - it's sort of like a spotlight-effect.

This last one was shot earlier - much earlier. The strobe freezes the tire while everything else is impacted by the panning. 1/30 sec worked out well - the pan turned out really smooth (very unlike my other 20 attempts!). DSRL = Guess and Check.
