Shutter Moment

After two month of camera repair hiatus, I can finally shoot with my D200 again. This time, I decided to do another crime scene-delinquent theme oriented shoot. The model, like last time, is Kevin Lee. This time, however, I finally get the chance to test out two strobe set up as well as the SU-800 to eliminate the onboard preflash. We shot in a garage-like location. Everything was done on the go since I wanted to be creative on the spot. All three photos has a rim light using a snooted flash (no I don’t use any fancy snoot – just few thick paper and a rubber band). The other flash is used as a fill on the left hand side. Again, I used the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 (you may recall my rave about this lens back in the first crime scene shoot).

You gotta love the accidental dust particles (it’s not a bug, it’s a feature)

Don’t mess with him

Usually Kevin is nice, but …

As always, leave a comment and let me know what you like, dislike, and let me know how I can improve.
