Things have been a bit more local this week and the bags have stayed in the closet. Been good to regroup and have some time to go through images from recent trips. Might even get as far as putting them in to my stock library... you never know!
I finally got to go ahead with a shoot that had been waiting on the weather for nearly two weeks. The sun shone but boy it was a fresh 5ºc...I know, I know I'm getting soft! The shoot was for a business at a viewpoint that overlooked their local area. You don't get much time for this type of shoot, especially when your subjects are likely to get permafrost! Kept things simple with a couple of radio triggered Canon flashes to give the images some spark and fill the shadows. It meant we could keep things moving swiftly.
Sometimes business people need a little relaxing in front of the camera and Steve who was directing the shoot came up with a great idea. Jumping jacks, yes you read that right. Watching the photographer leaping up and down made people relax, crack a smile and had the bonus of keeping me nice and warm!
That's the bonus of putting the camera on a tripod and using a cable release. You are free to interact a whole lot more with your subject and even keep fit on the job!
