A common question I get is how I create my “arse” shots? While they’ve been shot forever, I seemed to have hit on a combination of elements that combined in the viewfinder grabs folks imagination. The key ingredient is the light. Next is the background and finally is the foreground. Or in other words, I treat the arse shot just like I do a landscape photograph. It’s in my mind the same elements crammed into the same viewfinder but with a slightly different story. The one huge difference between the landscape and the arse photograph is the arse shot has got to have perfect symmetry and that’s really the only trick to success.<\/p>\n

The symmetry is really easy once you know the “secret.” I have the grid turned on in my D5<\/a>, D500<\/a> & D750<\/a> and that’s really all it takes. The center line of the grid is where you place the vertical stabilizer (tail), the center of the fuselage and tail wheel (if present). Then the wing tips are places on the same vertical line on the side of the grid to level the aircraft. I level the aircraft, not the ground. With that done, the symmetry is done and the arse shot ready to be taken. Personally, I love shooting the arse shot with the 24-70VR<\/a> setting up so the plane fills the frame at 24mm and then zoom it to 70mm to take the sectionals of the arse. Now if only there were a”grid” in the camera for great light, it would be a snap!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
