Score for the Hardware Store
I have two extension cords in my bag of gear and lighting. One is blue and one is orange. The orange on came in handy Sunday when I needed something to compliment the clothing of this Coyote. I simply held the thing coiled up in front of my lens and shot through the holes. I like this one 'cus it looks a little like flames. Other than some burning, dodging and running my "thing" action on this image, it is all done in camera.
As the title of this entry suggests, score another point for hardware stores over camera stores. I made over 70 different setups in the same small space over the last two days and most of what I used to bring unique qualities to each photo wasn't photo gear. It was random bits of hardware and crap that I found in the bar. At one point I was shooting through my fingers holding a pink cell phone. I think the Coyotes thought I was nuts. Also, I never used more than two lights.
I'll post more shots later so you can see that it's not about gear. Sorry folks, it's true.
Take pictures.
