… Or, a Soft Box Will Work, Too
After reading Sunday's post on improvisational ring lights, Haristobald Photography shot me a link to this BTS video.
Camera on axis with a soft box, and everything on an overhead boom gets him a different perspective for these calendar shots of a local track club -- with very cool results. More info and final pics are on his dual-language blog post.
If he sounds familiar, it is because he was one of the winners in the PocketWizard/Strobist video competition a ways back. If you are a new reader (since November '08) you'll want to check those out.

Great idea, and I love the podium shot at the end.
excellent! This is a very good idea and it's very funny to see the whoole year!

I love seeing things like this first thing in the morning - gets me pumped to go out and shoot the hell out of something. Nice!!!
check out the link on his site to the 2009 calender shoot he did. its even better.
I'm very interested in how he hung the camera in front of the softbox and how he controls the camera from the laptop.
I have a Nikon D300 and know about the software + powered USB cable which can view/shoot remotely, but don't know how to afix the camera on such a setup.
The idea to shoot the flat on the ground looks SO good!
Great idea, and VERY inspiring!
Awesome concept!!!
Wow!
What a reward for my humble shootings!
Thank you so much David for your amazing blog!
@Dave McLane: actually the camera is fixed to the boom with a magic arm and a superclamp.
@Haristobald
Really amazing concept dude. Very inspiring and original. Thanks for posting the BTS.
Thanks, I went back frame by frame and could see the magic arm setup.
This is fantastic! What a great way to think "outside-the-box"...very cool.
Very fun concept! This would work for weddings and portraits too -- although you'd need just the right people to participate -- and it's probably an after shoot for newlyweds -- but fun!
