We finished off our DLWS event at this monster of an old car junk yard. There were many ways one could explore its wonders, Kevin & I decided to continue on with flash but ditch the shadow art for now. We had three models for the participants to work with tonight, Kevin & I worked with Morgan (great gal!). Joe worked with Diana and Drew with another, and the participants were able to take advantage of all three set ups. We worked various story lines with different vehicles. The lighting was pretty simple. A single SB-900, 1/2 CTO shot through a Lastolite EZY Box. We had way too MUCH fun this week, sorry to see it end. Thanks to all our DLWS MT participants who made it one for the books!

I’m waiting for a huge crash at any moment, life is going that good! We had another great morning with a flash here, a flash there, a flash going everywhere! Joe’s infleunce and excitement when it comes to flash is infectious!
Kevin & I decided to take our shadow art and explored it further. We tried a number of things, this one turning out the best. It’s not perfect but good enough to encourage us to pursue it further. It’s just darn fun. Can you tell what’s the story line?

What a great day! The folks venturing through MT with us are great, dead tired but really great! We went shooting in the snow this afternoon is this great town, Nevada City, the one I eluded to earlier in the week. Joe was showing some images this afternoon and talking about a “newish” technique with the Nikon SB-900 (did you see that Joe blogged HOURS after taking a landscape photo, a landscape photo? WOW!). It got Kevin and me a thinkin….
We hit the town and started with a safe subject, a train luggage cart to try the new technique. We then moved on to what you see above. What’s cool is, it was snowing when we took the photo! There’s no sunset, no shadows. Using Joe’s technique, we made the shadow right out of the gate. Thanks Joe! Kevin & I were just starting our third photo when the call went out for lighting demo. That’s when Joe works his magic live and on location. This time, Joe lit up an entire train with 4 SB’s and used our son Jake as the conductor. Well, we couldn’t miss that now, could we? The photo, well I took it since it was my son but it’s Joe’s shot so he gets to publish it first. But it was very cool and a great lesson.

There are rewards in this world of photography that well, you simply don’t see coming. This guy Kevin first coming on a safari with me and then becoming one of my dearest friends and then having a ranch outside of Bozeman for us to shoot at. Who’d a thunk it? This is Kevin’s cousin Lyle who is a real life cowboy working the family ranch that has been in existence since the land was settled.

And this is his wife Mert, real life “cowgirl.” She can ride!

There are no words for our morning. Of the 900 images, I have time to only post this one and the Moose Cam. May it bring you the joy we felt bringing it to you. Warning, the Moose Cam will take a moment to load.

The first day is over and is on the books and we’re back for Monday night assist. It’s been a really good day with some really nice shooters. We headed to a very favorite place of mine this afternoon to shoot, the Stockyard in Bozeman. I just started to get into the flow of the place again when McNally came up with this really cool flash demo that just sucked me in.

Here are two photos though I did get to finish before getting sucked into the magic that is Joe’s flash. You get a hint of the place and its period feel. I saw the place in that kind of time light so composed everything I shot for B&W which I did in post using Silver Efex Pro. I’ve got to run, off to help folks. Hope you enjoy another small slice of MT.
