Skate Noir 3 (self portrait)

Self portrait. Remote in right hand, melon poke in left hand. Nice knee pads, ya kook! Hey, it was dark and I didn't want to kill myself if I fell, as it was scary enough already hardly being able to see the transition and coping.

 

1d Mark III, 70-200, tripod, three lights, PocketWizard Flexes and Mini, yadda yadda!

 

One light behind me for rim, one light camera left to illuminate the bowl, one light way in the back to give some depth to the shot with those other park features. Loved the shapes back there so I decided to keep them in the end rather than photoshop it all to black. I think everything was on full power. Easy to just blast everything and move the lights to adjust flash power in this shot, as I want to do it quickly rather than fiddling with light levels because the light was dropping like a rock and I wasn't in the mood to fiddle with the lights and miss what little was left. I said fiddle three times in two sentences. Gross.
