Strike - Aries

Geeez... Why did I pick this assignment!!! I have to admit this subject had me thinking for the last two weeks. Thinking outside of the box, I chose to create these two images to signify the striking pain that we feel in our hearts when life doesn't go our way. *edit* looking back at the two, I should've shot at a higher ISO level to obtain a grainier look.


Life is like photography, we need the negatives to develop!!


For both shots I bounced the 580ex II to a reflective umbrella from right @ 1/16 power.
ISO 125 * 90MM * F/8.0 * 1/100 SEC

ISO 125 * 90MM * F/9.0 * 1/60 SEC

  1. Great stuff man. My favorite would have to be the second. I wouldn't change anything about it. The amount of grain is perfect. How you can see all the pores in your arms. Plus the way your clenching your shirt really shows the pain and anguish that your trying to signify.
