As Pride goes on, the sun crests the edges of Market Street and starts roasting everything in hard light. I brought along my flash in the hopes of providing some fill, and got a few shots I liked.
I saw these dummers in black with white-white drums coming down market, and saw my shot -- the flash is used to light up their faces and pop the whites on the drums a little more.
For the sun being as harsh as it was, you got some great shots! Diggin' the black/white on this frame.
ReplyDeleteThanks -- with black fetish-y people with bone white drums, b&w was a no-brainer. :)
ReplyDeleteThe flash helped (SB-800 has some kick), but also I have a theory that the streets on Market are light enough in places to act as a kind of weak reflector -- maybe good for bringing shadows up half a stop or so.
