LMAO, I was drunk off of my ass, when this was shot. Not to mention I just got every tooth pulled out of my head the day before. So I was also on some really good pain killers...
Therefore I did have to use my light meter on this 1 and not my instinct as much as I would have liked...
This is just text book stuff. I can tell you exactly how I did this without looking at the stats...
1/125 @ f/5.6, ISO 100. Using only 1 Alien Bee with a 30 X 60" soft box on the right and 1 Alien Bee on the left using the same soft box, but it was turned off. The left side was only for reflection. The light just bounced off the white soft box for a fill... ;)
How can I lose when I will benefit from your killer camera instinct. Like the shot, so to speak, great lighting and hat. Be well, my friend, Stan :) :)
Martin. Fantastic. Think its better the gun pointing that way as you can see a the barrel better with the light on it. Also if it went off while pointing at the camera, you would have to buy another sensor for camera. Cheers Keith:)
poor Martin, you really think that I loose, just look in your gun, when I took my shot, I want my bullet to block the barrel of your gun, if you pull the trigger, your gun will explose (and this his the real reason why the barrel is not front of me... not the reason you give the this poor Rae). I do it that way cause I don't want to kill you, but if you don't give me the chance...
I really like the lighting on this shot. Great overall picture. If I may make a suggestion, if the barrel of the gun would have been straight on facing into the camera, and not tilted to the right, I think that would have made more of an impact. For some reason, that caught my eye, that the barrel was off a bit. Overall, however, excellent shot Martin!
