Don't Miss the Bus!

This Afternoon I had a shoot with Amanda Slayman. She is an up and comming songwriter that I have known since she was a kid in middle school. She has grown into a beautiful young woman. Man, I am getting old. Anyhow, let's talk about these pics, shall we. I was driving home the other day and I noticed this bus for sale. I stopped in and talked to the owner and got permission to use it for pics, and immediately thought of Amanda. In the top pic, the main light is a SB800 camera left, with a SB600 camera right for a little fill. I have a SB600 at the back of the bus with a red gel on it. (Call me on my cell Kim and I will explain the gel thing again.) I had a fog machine back there too but the wind was too much for the fog. In the middle pic, mainlight Sb800 camera left with a shoot through umbrella, SB600 fill light camera right, and a blue gel'd

SB600 aimed at the bus. The bottom pic is the same setup, shot vertical with a little photoshop hocus pocus. And there you have it. We did these 3 light setups in less than an hour, Amanda helped me quite a bit. It's good to have a model that will carry things. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tie all this in to the title "Don't miss the bus". When you see a good location, don't hesitate, go ask if you can shoot there. The worse thing that can happen is they say no. Or they have a pitbull dog you didn't see when you stopped. That would really suck.
