Ok, thought I'd get this blog off the ground. Saturday 12th November I joined a group of other photy type people, model and make up artists (known as MUA's in the 'oul photog' industry). The location was Elm Park (http://www.elmpark.ie/). This spot is a real symbol of the recession as it's a vast set of office buildings, some kitted out with no tenents, others still mid construction. Still, it made for a cool place for taking pictures. I brought along Martin Cooke, a 2nd Dan black belt in Kenpo, and one time ninja. There were a lot more photographers to models so I concentrated on using Martin for the day and headed off to the areas still under construction.
SB900 on camera right using shoot thru umbrella @ 1/2 power. SB800 camera left using shoot thur umbrella @ 1/4 power, 70-210 f4.
Similar light setup to above just lowered the flashes.
We then moved on to one of the stairwells that were still being fitted out so just concrete basically. I wanted to create a image of a ninja stalking up the stairs to some victim. MC donned the ninja mask and away we went.
1 SB900 snooted, on a stand on next level pointing directly downwards.
1 SB900 above/behind camera left on a shoot thru umbrella.
All in all, it was good fun and the group are planning another session for December.
