Winter III – It’s 11 degrees!

Posted by Joe DiMaggio on January 20, 2012

At the end of my location shoot, I decided to bring all of the equipment back to the automobile, got a plastic bag, and decided to take the ice back to the studio. The thought process was to change the perspective that I was unable to get in the original concept on the river (were the jewelry kept going into the water). I tucked the ice away for the night and the next afternoon, totally overcast, I built a small table-top studio outside and continued to explore the possibilities and tried to come up with a fresh (cold) photograph. Yes, I do lose my sense of humor when I’m cold.

Equipment Used: 1 Large Sartek LED light, 1 small Sartek LED light, Manfrotto carbon fiber monopod, Manfrotto small ball head, Manfrotto light fluid head tripod, Sony camera 135mm zeiss lens.
