Just a quick post today, but just wanted to talk about the random cool things that sometimes happen as a photographer – one of them is shooting a professional opera singer in a park while he’s singing. I think the whole park must have heard him – they have to be super loud to make sure their voices fill the entire concert hall – I can only imagine what other people must have been thinking as this beautiful, pure singing started ringing out throughout the grounds. Really neat, and a good reminder of why I got into this in the first place – which is to meet and photograph interesting people who are really good at what they do.
Lighting setup: When you have late afternoon sunlight filtering through the trees like this you really don’t need to much – lighting was an SB-900 in a Westcott 24″ softbox , camera right. I let the ambient light do most of the hard work. Lens was the Nikkor 135mm f/2 DC, for anyone wondering.
