This is a collegue of mine. His name is Cap'n Surly. He wakes up to dine and has no spine, he's really rather burly.
We had our work Christmas party last night. All employees attended dressed up as some type of super hero. In many cases, the hero was made up. Some of the employees got quite creative. The shot you see above is Adam, our Executive Producer. Note the condensation around his forhead.
I'll be posting another shot from the night tomorrow because it was taken at 2am which is technically another day. :)
THOUGHT BEHIND THE SHOT…
Not much to say really. I had the camera in Aperture Priority Mode because I didn't want to be constantly fiddling at the party with the varying lighting conditions etc. I was using my Nikon SB-800 speedlight (attached to camera) for lighting which performed flawlessly all night.
PHOTO-GEEK STUFF…
For those that are interested the shot details are below:
I was sitting on the train tonight and this shot popped into my mind. I'm going to do some more with this subject at a later date, but for now, this is all I had time for. He was sound asleep, as you can see and his face is almost unblurred (there's a little softness around the lips) which is pretty good considering it was a 30 second exposure.
THOUGHT BEHIND THE SHOT…
I wanted to get a picture of Luke doing what he does for the majority of the day, within the setting that he most commonly does it (did you get that?). I thought the bars of the cot made a nice border for his face.
This was a 30 second exposure in an almost dark room. I did a few shots at ISO 1600 with almost no lighting, but I wasn't happy with the amount of noise in the shot so for the shot above I turned on a dimmed lamp to give just enough ambient light to get this shot at 30 seconds.

This is the snooker table in the office. Being a friday night there were a few people kicking back and playing a few pockets. These two guys, Adam and Mada were in the middle of a rather intense game when I took this shot. Just look at the concentration on Mada's face.
THOUGHT BEHIND THE SHOT…
Hmmmm. Not saying anything this time. How about you tell me how I did it. (PS: It's not hard).

Thought I'd post this to add a little "light" humour to the blog.
I'm sure this has been done before. It would take a fair bit of effort to take every shot, especially considering he completely re-organised his room a couple of times and then completely emptied it out.
This is one of my favourite shots from a shoot I did last weekend. There’s also a colour version but as far as “art” goes, I think the B&W has more of an impact.
You’ll notice that all the machinery has a more silky look to it and the forground stands out more than in the colour verion.
I’ve posted quite of few of the shots from the shoot here, so feel free to have a look.
The little girl was very easy to shoot. We just let her run around and I just kept taking photo after photo after photo. I think I ended up with around 300 shots after 2 hours.
