September 2nd 2008 - the Night Shift
Explored! #5
So today it was back to work. We shot two car commercials had lunch at a Chinese buffet where I said to who I thought was a co-worker and after realizing that it wasn't him... found that what I had said might have come off very creepy and downright scary... but it turned out fine. No need to repeat it.
After that we shot another commercial at our local baseball team (the Montgomery Biscuits) stadium with a couple of radio personalities and our lovable mascot "Big Mo". Fun fun!
Anyway, after reading the last few issues of "the Amazing Spiderman" where he had gotten his uniform stolen and had to borrow one from Daredevil, it made me think of what he might have looked like in his street clothes while watching over the city. So here's your visual. The city is from a shot that I took in Miami a few years ago.
Strobist info: Alien Bee's B800 Through a large softbox below at camera right and an SP Studios strobe above and behind at camera right.

I'd hate to be competing with your 365days project this year around.

hehe, awesome! just had to smile :)
TheShape (57 months ago | reply)
Sweet man, you definitely have the gift of lighting. Not much Photoshop has to be done when the lighting is on point. If I ever get up that way, we'll definitely have to schedule a meet-up.
On a side note, I always took you to be a hi-top kinda guy. Sad...
Craig Butcher [deleted] (57 months ago | reply)
You have got me chuckling here! Great work!

This is amazing ,,.. well done
Stephen Poff (57 months ago | reply)
You guys always give me something to smile about in the morning. Thanks!
@ Jack Scoresby: LOL... That's how I felt about you guys when I was on hiatus ;-). And thanks.
@ theshape: So true so true! Oh... and I am a hi-top guy. The girls convinced me to buy these to wear with my shorts on vacation. I had a black pair of hi-tops but they got messed up when I fell in da mud, so I'm stuck with these for a while. They aways feel like they are untied.

wicked!
peauters (57 months ago | reply)
This is brilliant.
I came across your 365 stream a while back when I was wandering whether to attempt a 365 (still not decided about that).
I bow to your lighting and PS skills. If I'm even a 1/4 as good as you in a years time I'll be very very happy. =o)
brandon.vincent (57 months ago | reply)
very nice, the night matches perfectly.

Stephen Poff (57 months ago | reply)
LOL.. me too... I also used to wear my Dr. Marten's with shorts... but I was on our honeymoon and I wanted to look good for her, so I let her pick ;-).
noisemedia (57 months ago | reply)
very very cool.
SaylaMarz (57 months ago | reply)
I love this. Your pose is just fun and yet it really is the uniform that makes the hero.....your chucks here are hilarious.
Any chance I can talk you into sending an outtake to my marionette group? Please?
kellybellystar (57 months ago | reply)
I'll bet Peter is jealous of your photography skills. ;0)
Stephen Poff (57 months ago | reply)
@ SaylaMarz: LOL.. glad you found it funny. Um... an outake? You mean the original photo? You REALLY don't want that cause, the way I had to get this was kind of awkward and embarassing LOL. I do have a marionette photo that I did for my 365 in '06 though... will that work?
@ kellybellystar: I've always wondered how he got such great photos with auto focus/exposure... I should ask him ;-)
lezcapades (57 months ago | reply)
Wow. I love this! :)

Talk about being on a roll. I am trying to catch up on Spider Man but coming out 3 times a month makes it a tad bit difficult.
