For some reason, I really like the cheap coffee at Cyclops. It’s not the best coffee on the planet, and they serve you so little at a time that it gets cold quickly, but I seem to have no problems drinking a lot of it whenever I go there for brunch. Maybe it’s because there are free refills. Maybe it’s because I’m usually still waking up when I go there on Sunday morning/afternoon. Or, maybe it’s because cheap coffee is the best way to wash down a big, hearty breakfast consisting of a 2-ton omelette, a loaf of toast, and a sack of potatoes. Yeah, that’s probably it.

While everyone else was hanging out in front of backdrops and standing still (not counting the breakdancers), Beth decided she wanted to go airborne. So, she approached after she saw I was done with my jumping shots and asked if she could jump as well. I was more than happy to oblige. She was so much fun to shoot!

Chase Jarvis just posted the video that his crew shot at last Friday’s hangar shoot. Check it out for a glimpse into what one of our big Seattle hangar shoots looks like. Watching that vid makes me want to blow off work and go out and shoot.

Also, swing by Chase’s blog to read about the event some more.

Remember that video I posted a yesterday that featured me and Trevin hopping around like wackos? Here’s the final freeze frame that ended up being my favorite shot from the set.

Some shooting and lighting specifics:

  • Shot on a Nikon D300 with Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye.
  • Lit by 2 Nikon SB-600s at 1/2 power in shoot-through umbrellas at camera left and camera right.
  • Strobes triggered with Pocket Wizards.
  • Camera triggered with a Gadget Infinity wireless remote.
  • Post-processing in Lightroom 2.

Mad props to Trevin for holding that headstand for a couple of minutes’ worth of shooting. I would’ve broken my neck if I had tried it.
