Utah Strobist @ The Great Salt Lake

Utah Strobist - Great Salt Lake '09 by you.

I'm finally getting around to posting these photos from the latest Utah Strobist meetup.  The group got together out near the Salt Lake Marina for a little off camera lighting event. The idea was to have models there for us to photograph and for everyone to share information about their lighting gear and give others a chance to try out their gear.  Full set of pictures here


We started at the railroad tracks, these tracks are one of my favorite spots. I really like how the tracks fade off to the left in these photos. We also were shooting towards the sun so we had a nice rim light to work with. The lighting used were two nikon speedlights at camera left with a shoot through umbrella . A silver reflector was used on the photo above for lighting.

The second half of the evening was spent on the "beach" at the Great Salt Lake. A good friend and great photographer Nate brought a model and some snorkeling gear. Our intent was to get some stock image for our portfolios. We got started a bit later than I preferred but I'm fairly happy with the results. The lighting used was one Nikon speedlight with a shoot through umbrella on a voice activated light stand (Nate or Me).

Great images Scott. I can't wait to try out those railroad tracks next time I'm in Utah. And the images from later in the evening are incredible. Really dramatic stuff. Thanks for sharing.
