Thought it would be pretty easy assignment. Shoot couple of images for editorial web use. I was wrong. I was fighting through not so great lighting condition (at least it wasn't raining)...

I was at ISO 3200 F2.8 1/200 ~ 320 and it was about two stop under on back of my LCD.

No wonder other photographers went other games (some started 5:30). Anyways, game was pretty exciting actually (plus Beaverton HS homecoming night)

Final score Tualatin 40 Beaverton 22

SI Look Portrait

Weather was perfect and I wanted to do some SI look portrait for Jules. Session began around 8:30 and we worked fairly quickly in order to use last little bit of sunset out there. I liked the T-shirts that Jules's Dad made. Personally, I think it goes well with setting sun. Lighting was simple. One 580 EXII on camera left about 1/4 power with umbrella. I don't need huge studio lighting to lit up the subject. 1/2 CTO gelled and white balance was cloudy on my 1D mark III.

Here. Lighting is the same. I was sitting down on the ground to lower the horizon level as much as I can. I kept subject turn toward to the light source so that Jules's face is well lit.

Simple B/W conversion using Silver Effect Pro (Nik Software) followed by little vignetting around the corner. Little bit of fog would be perfect (I could put artificial fog...). Hope I can get that kind of image once football season begins.
