They guys wanted to get together for some photographic practicionation (i just made that up). We ended up at the Capitol and though I was not particularly "feeling it" I found an angle and wanted to try some strob shots and here are the results. The color version looks so-so but I feel it says more in black and white...what do you think?
Strobist info: three speedlights (sb800, sb600, sb28)
1. Key camera left on a stand and snooted at 1/8 power
2. Fill on a VAL at camera right and in close at 1/32 power
3. Rim light on stand high behind subject at full power
Converted to BW in cs5 and silver efex
San Francisco has long been one of my favorite places to travel to. I had a little extra time on my last event to make it over to a new location to shoot the Golden Gate. I tried to make it by sunset and was lucky enough to have a cab driver know exactly where I wanted to go. He even drove me around to a few more spots that I didn't know existed that I will be visiting next time around. I was hoping for a few clouds to help make the scene more interesting, but as luck would have it, it was clear as a bell. Anyway, all in all I am very happy with how the image turned out with help from Nik Silver Efex and Moab Slick Rock pearl paper.
P.S. Prints available by request and price varies based on paper and size. Just send me a note.
