Look for the clouds

March 4, 2010 • Blog, Photo Shoots

It is interesting to see what motivates people to shoot. Inspiration to create comes in many forms, and nothing gets me more excited than seeing an interesting sky develop.  I have never been interested in stripping in a sky that wasn’t there in my shot.  I like some of these images, but I would rather have it in the frame when I take the shot.  The other day we had some great clouds streaming overhead, and I had a portrait shoot set up with a local mountain biker.  Right on cue the clouds filtered in for a great sky background.  I did a time laspe to really highlight these clouds, it’s linked below.  Elinchrom Ranger with a 39″ deep octa on the left, 20 degree gridded head and Ranger on the right.  Triggered by Skyports. Tech: Nikon D200, 18-135mm,  1/160 at F13, ISO 100.
