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.

During last Friday’s Chase Jarvis Hangar Shoot, Chase brought in the Fraggle Rock Crew to add motion to our photo shoots. Chase did a quick demo session with them at the beginning of the meetup, and then I was first in line to shoot them afterwards. Not only did I get to work with some awesome dancers, I also got to use some “big-boy” lights.

Here are my three picks from the shoot:

Thanks to Brendan, Tim, and Colleen for their awesome skills!

Last Friday, Trevin and I did a bunch of jumping and cartwheeling and other stupid stunts at the Chase Jarvis Hangar Shoot. I couldn’t pick just one shot to feature (for now), so I slapped all of them together in a video. You can watch it above streamed from Flickr, or, if you don’t like Flickr vids, head on over to YouTube to watch it.

Here are some technical details for the gearheads out there:

- Everything was shot on my Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye that I rented from Glazer’s Camera.
- The camera was triggered with a Gadget Infinity wireless remote.
- Lighting is comprised of 2 Nikon SB-600s in shoot-through umbrellas at camera left and camera right at 5 ft. high and aimed towards the staging area. Power levels fluctuated between 1/2 and 1/4 power.
- For the most part, exposure was set at 1/250th sec. at f/8 and f/5.6. The ISO was at 800 to let in more ambient light.
- Basic adjustments to maintain lighting consistency was done in Lightroom 2.
- All of the frames were sequenced together in QuickTime Player. Titles and music were added in iMovie.

Thanks to Margaret for being the remote operator on my camera! And thanks to Chase Jarvis and crew for hosting an awesome meetup!

I was at Seafair this past weekend, and it was an absolute blast! Loud planes, fast boats, food and drink, and, of course, my friends made it an incredibly fun day. I didn’t get many photos of the Blue Angels, but they were fun to see nonetheless. I’m just too much of a portrait shooter to photograph planes well. Here are few pics from the afternoon:
