SLIDE 2 — THE CONCEPT Headline: REAR CURTAIN SYNC Body: Flash fires at the END of exposure. Not the start. The bike draws a blur trail FIRST — then the flash freezes it sharp. The streak is behind the bike. The motion makes sense.

SLIDE 3 — THE GEAR Headline: WHAT YOU NEED • Canon R6 II (any mirrorless works) • 28–70mm f/2.8 @ 35–40mm • Godox X3 Pro trigger — Rear Curtain mode • Flash A: V860III nearside / fill • Flash B: AD200 farside / rim light • Heavy tripod. Non-negotiable.

SLIDE 4 — THE SETTINGS Headline: THE NUMBERS Mode: Manual Shutter: 0.5s – 0.8s Aperture: f/8 – f/11 ISO: 100 Sync: REAR CURTAIN Flash A: 1/16 – 1/8 power Flash B: 1/4 – 1/2 power

SLIDE 5 — THE DIAGRAM Visual: Your setup overhead diagram (the one from the shoot plan) Caption overlay: THE SETUP — OVERHEAD VIEW Subtext: Camera perpendicular. Flash B across the road. Flash A nearside. Freeze point centre frame.

SLIDE 6 — THE WINDOW Headline: THE BLUE HOUR WINDOW Body: 20 minutes after sunset. Not during. Not 40 min after. The sky is deep blue. The road is dark. The flashes do all the work. You get ~15 frames. Make them count.

SLIDE 7 — THE RIDER BRIEF (solo note) Headline: SHOOTING YOUR OWN BIKE Body: Solo? Timer delay + remote trigger. Bike in 1st gear at idle on a slight incline. Mark the freeze point. Trust the pre-focus. The bike doesn’t need a rider to make the shot.

SLIDE 8 — TROUBLESHOOT Headline: WHEN IT GOES WRONG Too much blur → shutter to 0.4s No rim light → increase AD200 power Streak in front of bike → you’re on front curtain — check your trigger Bike too dark → V860III up 1 stop
