I've been asked some questions about this photograph. First, I shot it with three lights. All old Nikon strobes set to manual with Pocket Wizards firing all three. One light was inside the cart, the other two were positioned to my right and left aimed indirectly at cart. The second part of the equation is post processing in Aperture. First I set the adjustments. Recovery: all the way right; Black Point: 3 Definition: .62. Then I processed it in Color Efex Pro with the Tonal Contrast jacked up pretty high on all three sliders and the saturation dialed back to taste. After that, I went back to the Aperture adjustments and added some more black point and added the Color Monochrome module and that gave it the metallic look.

I spoke at the free Craig Mitchelldyer workshop!

I spoke Thursday at a photo business workshop put on by Craig Mitchelldyer. I spoke about the ways I keep my photography moving forward and techniques I use to keep my creativity up.
David Bergman was the keynote speaker an he has a nice blog post about the workshop on his blog.
Thanks to Grover, David Bergman, Robbie McClaran, Mike Davis and Tony Overman for making it something people wanted to actually go and see. And finally, thanks to Intervision for being so willing to model in front of a room full of photographers and giving us so much time to work with them.
