Pinkman! \u00a0More from the recent extended photo session with the Modern Gypsies<\/a>. \u00a0After the photo session with Martin on stilts<\/a>, we moved to one of the many colorful areas in Brooklyn where we started with Dread Eye<\/a>. Working in the same spot, Michael Saab fitted his character, PinkMan! out with jumping stilts. Absolute lunacy!<\/p>\n Working in such bright light, I thought the best approach would be to cross-light the sunlight with off-camera flash …<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you can see in this image below, I removed the front baffle on the Lastolite Ezybox softbox<\/a>. It cut down too much of the light. But with just the one baffle, I was able to match the sun at that working distance.<\/p>\n Camera settings for all these images: 1\/250 @ f11 @ 200 ISO <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first time I saw Michael on these jumping stilts\u00a0at an event I was photographing, I wanted a set! It just looked so much fun. But then, common sense prevailed … as a working photographer, I can’t risk any injury, especially to my hands or wrists. But still, they look fascinating.<\/p>\n Pinkman! \u00a0More from the recent extended photo session with the Modern Gypsies. \u00a0After the photo session with Martin on stilts, we moved to one of the many colorful areas in Brooklyn where we started with Dread Eye.

\nThe flash was set to full output, in manual mode. That was the only way I was sure to get the most juice from my flash, with every shot. I used PocketWizard Plus II units to fire the flash.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/photo-session\/modern-gypsies\/2\/NV2_6996.jpg\")
