187/365. To hell with responsibility — forget reality
Today's shot wasn't exactly fun. It involved climing up to Noe Valley, combating wind, saving falling softboxes, and jumping off a brick wall several times over.
By the time I got home, at the least, my beautiful wife had dinner ready :)
Anyhow, this particular shot was meant to have an old school film + HDR look. It is of course, best viewed large, and looks.... not so great at this 500px size.
I continued on with the video series for the info, although, it's a bit lacking in detail because I couldn't find a proper place to mount the lightstand without it falling over, so I stuck it in some bushes. If anything, it's worth checking out for a good laugh at how lame things were put together.
One final thing to note, this was an HDR taken with a single raw file by simply duplicating the file with different exposures (for anyone that wondered how to get action HDR shots with one image).
setup, camera, strobist info: see here
{edit note}: this is very different from my usual work. by no means am i an HDR expert, or even an enthusiast. But this is what 365's are for. I am bound to churn out some weird crap in hopes to learn a few things along the way.
