Cool Shots Taken During Class




And here are a few shots we took in class in groups out around and on Venice beach around 9pm during our last class. We did some portraits near the beach cottages using about 12 seconds and a flashlight. The cool thing about this shot (with me in it looking quite serious) is that the background lighting is quite cool. The other shots were on one of the lifeguard towers. Imagine it's pitch black! The shot with the girl was taken over about 30 seconds - and the girl and front of the tower were lit with a flashlight - then the tower itself was lit all round with multiple manual hits with a standard flash unit. Gave it a cool 3D effect to walk around the tower shooting off the flash. The one with the guy coming out of the light - same thing - he's lit by a flashlight - then we used a tiny flashlight with a gel to draw the lines around him. The exposure is so long, that the person drawing the lines does not show.
