Loving the colouration here – couldn’t hear too well what you were saying but I swear I heard “homosexual guys” at one point.

Did you edit the photo or is the photo straight right out of the camera? This project is really awesome!
Martin
Nice idea! I miss it too :(
Since you did this without an assistant, how do you focus on the right area? At such a Low aperture, it’s surely tricky, and I often get it wrong.
Do you have some kind of half-press function on your remote, or any tips?
Cheers, Rick.

Dave, I have literally no idea what I was on about…
Zip, I edit all my photos.
Martin, I set the focus to manual and focus on the spot I know I am going to stand. Easy with a shot like this because I can just put the skateboard where I am going to be and press the button. Sometimes I use a light stand in the spot I am going to be, hit the 10 second timer, run to the light stand & throw it out of the way… depends on the type of shot.

Lovely shot Rick! I just wanted to know what are you using to show your lighting diagrams?

Kaarins, too late…
Natalie, I draw them.
