In honor of the super bowl today between Seattle and New
England I want to capture a football image.
My baseball team is Boston and my second favorite QB of all time behind
Dan Marino is Tom Brady. I own his
jersey so I put that together with my Boston hat.
I had an idea to shoot light directly down on me and capture
an image from above almost directly down. In setting the shot up I use my Samsung
phone to focus on myself as I can tether my camera wirelessly to my phone. It is an extremely useful technology, the
only downfall is the camera will not shoot flash when tethered. I at that point switch the lens to manual
focus and leave it at its proper depth, position myself and shoot a few shots
to get the right composition. It is
extremely hard to get the shot I want, even when I have everything placed
properly and hop in at the right position I cannot view the composition. I ended up shooting 3 photos, I believe it
was a 15 second exposure with a single flash at the opening of the
shutter. I slid out of the picture to create
the ghostly effect towards the back of the photo.
Everyday is a learning experience, I love stretching myself
and working on different styles. I am
just glad the Patriots won 28-24 over Seattle.
Everyday find inspiration and wok on developing a skill.
