Success! (Mwuhuhahahaha!!!)

This is my friend Jim (flickr user kubicekjim). We did a photoshoot in his biological research lab to shoot some mad scientist shots. Luckily he had some great props in there like liquid nitrogen, a face shield, and some great colored gloves. We got some cool shots of us looking pretty silly.

The shot is lit by 2 430ex speedlites, one on the left, and one into an umbrella on the right. You can see the umbrella reflection in the face shield, and in the glass hood in the back. Both are triggered ETTL with ratio control with an STE2.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

hehe - nice shot, we should do another "on assigment" with the title "avoiding refelctions in a full face mask"!! Now that would be a tough one!

Good colours and lighting.

Kind Regards

Mind sharing the aperture and shutter speed? Judging by the dark background you must have used a really tiny aperture.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Squilky: It's actually f9, 1/200s, i did a little bit of photoshop enhancement, specifically multiplying the image with itself to increase contrast and darken the background a little.
