Studio Hockey Shoot

I finally convinced my oldest son Wyatt to get into full hockey gear and play in the studio…hockey skates included. Although we don’t condone using good skates on studio surfaces, I think I was willing to sacrifice a few things to get some pictures done. Let’s just say after the session yesterday, I had to make a special trip to Home Depot to buy a new tile board for the studio. Sharpened skates really do cut through a lot of things!

A few things of note that I had to watch out for, and for what it’s worth, made for good practicing for me. Lots and lots of white. Background, the jersey and the hockey tape on the stick. Took a while to figure out the balance of lighting with the main light so not to overexpose too much, but with the limited time I had with a 5 year old on skates, you do what you can.

2 basic setups on this one.

The oil being prepared out of canadian viagra online natural herbs and plants existing out there that are being utilized by herbal doctors as a remedy and avoidance of varieties of diseases. For the B&W image, background lights were turned off and everything is lit with just the main key light. I really wish I had more time to shoot a few more this way, and I’d also like to see if I can really throw that background black. I’m not sure I have a big enough space to do so. The second setup had the two Alien Bees B800’s firing on the background and a third B800 as the key light.

An interesting tidbit, on the full length shots, the tile board beneath Wyatt is all cut to hell. The exposure of the lights helps knock those out and hide them where you can’t really see, but I did have to do some post processing on the bigger gashes. In all honesty, I actually didn’t mind the look of the cuts and will keep the original as a keeper cause it also adds a little texture to the image and a reminder of how sharp the skates were.
