How i shot, what i shot, and why...

Here is an image from my second promotional fitness shot with Mark “Boxfit” personal trainer, taken at a local park in ilford. I do love shooting on location when the sun is just right, and am able to dial down all the excess light.

DATE: 23/5/10

CAMERA: Canon 500d

LIGHT SOURCE: Canon Speed light 430 EX mk2, through a 28inch umbrella – Camera Left, i cant remember the power settings but its possible the flash was set to 1/4 power

LENS: Canon EF-S 18-55 mm at 27mm

EXPOSURE: 1/200th at F/4.0

ISO: 100

RETOUCHED: No

WHY THIS SHOT: this was captured mid flow, whilst mark was throwing boxing combinations. I like the intensity of his concentration. With ensight i would liked to have position Mark to avoid the mix of red brick and stone.
