Pittsburgh, Pa has has a pretty weak winter so far. I\\’ve shoveled my driveway twice… if that. So when we got hit with a little bit of snow, we rushed to set up this urban hit. Madison and I worked on this for about two hours refining the run in (sketchy as EVER!) and perfecting the angles/lighting of the shot. I was working down two flash units. This however was a simple one light set up. Madison had already nailed the trick we came for and we decided to play around a bit before calling it a night.

Pittsburgh, PA hasn\'t had the most amazing snowfall so far this year. But we just got a few inches and set up this MONSTER kink rail at the local park. We sessioned it for a good 5 hours. This rail is not a simple thing. As is typical with municipal-built \"improvements\", nothing was how you\'d think it would be. Each down section was at a different angle than the previous down section, and no two flat sections were the same length. All this combined to make this a very tricky rail. :::: Flashes: 1 Alien Bee 800 at 1/4 power - camera right and up the hill - lighting the upper part of the rail :: 1 Nikon SB900 as an accent light at 1/4 +0.3 power halfway down the hill zoomed to 135mm for a tight beam on the rider :: 1 Alien Bee 800 at 1/4 +0.5 camera left lighting the bottom of the rail.

Note* Flashes were set up for the goofy footed riders we were shooting today. Trevor took a run between bungee duties and I snapped one. :::: Flashes: 1 Alien Bee 800 at 1/4 power - camera right and up the hill - lighting the upper part of the rail :: 1 Nikon SB900 as an accent light at 1/4 +0.3 power halfway down the hill zoomed to 135mm for a tight beam on the rider :: 1 Alien Bee 800 at 1/4 +0.5 camera left lighting the bottom of the rail.

Madison and I worked on this for about two hours refining the run in (sketchy as EVER!) and perfecting the angles/lighting of the shot. I was working down two flash units. As best I can remember the settings were: 1 Alien Bee 800 camera right - pointed at Madison - at about 1/4 power, and 1 Nikon SB900 - you can just see it right under the rider in the background - lighting the factory door at a cool 1/4 power. Working with two lights was a challenge on this shot because I wanted to not only light the rider, but light some of the more interesting surroundings as well, all the while trying to cancel out the awful color temps of the factory lights.
