So... instead of the normal fire dept. demonstration of the flaming turkey in a frying pot for the newspaper story on Thanksgiving safety.... They wanted me to come up with something for an illustration. The flaming turkey it is... A bit of rubber cement and grill lighter... and viola.  Here is how they played it in the paper... which was my idea when I shot it. I was hoping for a more squareish shape than the long rectangle... but I'm not the page designer I guess.  Settings were.... D2Hs, 17-55mm (at about 38), ISO 200, f22 at 1/2 a second. With an off-cam SB800 at 1/8th power. And it's not really a turkey.... but a whole chicken. Scale-wise, it worked out well for me. Happy Turkey Day.... --------------------------- Well... it's time to get back in the game. __________________________________________ A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into." -Ansel Adams I don't so much mind that newspapers are dying -- it's watching them commit suicide that pisses me off. – Molly Ivins NEW Website...Sportsshooter. |

That is really cool. --------------------------- Dawn ~ A Nikon girl "...we take something from each subject, each time. That moment again, that thought, that mood, that light. It will never be exactly the same again. Not even a second afterward. It's gone-and it's preserved, forever, in the photograph. There's power in that." J.D. Robb, Portrait in Death |

Real Jason. Another example of "professional photographer". I've always defined professional photographer as a photographer who can take an assignment and consistantly create great results whether it's in the studio or in the field. There are a grillion great photographers out there, but most couldn't take an editors or writers idea and illustrate it in photos. Nice job. |

Tom, thank you very much for the compliment. That means a lot. It was a blast to do, and everybody at home has been asking me about it. --------------------------- Well... it's time to get back in the game. __________________________________________ A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into." -Ansel Adams I don't so much mind that newspapers are dying -- it's watching them commit suicide that pisses me off. – Molly Ivins NEW Website...Sportsshooter. |
