A soggy engineer
Another shot from the series pertaining to our Innovative Projects publication. This guy did some work on fish ladders: devices that allow fish to swim around a dam in a river or stream. Pretty cool stuff. The concept of the shoot was to have him soaked and holding a ladder. Ok then, I can do that!
Here’s a fun one, of the many
ISO 250, 1/40sec @ f7.1, 20mm. ambient flourescent gym lighting, with a strobe slightly to camera-left.
here’s the final that was chosen to run with the article. It’s not my fave from the day, but it works best with the layout in the mag. Oh well.
This has obviously had some post-production done on it. Mostly just a bit of Lightroom crunching, the background zapped out in Photoshop, and the shadow & reflection rebuilt.
ISO250, 1/40sec @ f7.1 18mm. Again, ambient flourescent and a strobe at camera-right.
All in all, this was a very fun day. I scored an assistant for the shoot–a fella from a local photog school (thanks Neil!!). A church gym, a giant tarp taped to the wall & floor, compressed air, water, bubbles, ladders, and an engineer who wasn’t much of an egghead.
