Did you miss out on Tim's favorite feature of the Phase One camera system? Check it out here: http://bit.ly/1ho52vp
After the shoot we had the chance to talk to Tim in detail about why he uses medium format and the benefits of leaf shutter lenses.
Phase One: As an action sports photographer, why do you use a medium format camera system?
Tim Kemple: When people ask me what I like most about shooting medium format, usually they think I love the number of megapixels that it has – but that’s not it. I don’t always need more megapixels. I need better pixels. I need more dynamic range and I need to be able to shoot at high flash syncs.
PO: Why is the fast flash sync capabilities of a leaf shutter lens so important to the way you shoot?
TK: I need the ability to control the lighting on location and freeze the action with the off-camera flash that I love to use. I also need to balance the ambient light with the flash light and the best camera that I’ve shot with, that let’s me do that, is the Phase One system.
PO: Have you tried shooting with any other systems that can produce fast flash sync speeds?
TK: Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware of the other solutions and what they can do with a 35mm camera, I do it all the time – I’m well experienced with that. But the bottom line is that you can’t compare them to the amount of light and quality of light that you get on a consistent basis with a leaf shutter lens. The biggest thing with other systems is that they don't use all the power of the flash and they aren’t always reliable which means you can miss a crucial shot.
