Kincaid, Nevada. What caught my eye here was the rounded shapes piled on top of rounded shapes, as well as the light-colored metal in shade, just begging for light painting. The separate planes of the open doors gave me the opportunity to layer my lighting, giving this remote desert scene the perception of even more […]
Singapore Tanglin Village
Martin Liew also took me back to Tanglin Village, one of the places we shot last year. This time we were able to get over the fence into the main complex where the largest buildings are. A one time Nutmeg plantation, Tanglin was converted to military barracks in 1860. Over the years it was occupied […]
Singapore Night
Singapore local Martin Liew took me out shooting on the one night I had free before the TV shoot. We hit two abandoned locations, the first a destroyed (burned down?) plantation building (?) in the Novena district shown in this post. I found this spot myself, just hiking around in the afternoon. Singapore’s 100% humidity […]
Singapore Afternoon
Holy crap is it humid. Walked around for a few hours and I swear, you could wring my shirt out. Did take a few snaps though. TV show tomorrow AM.
Singapore Trip
I’m leaving today for Singapore! I’m doing the guest judge stint again, for “The Big Shot 2” night photography episode. Just like last year, it’s 20 hours of travel + 40 hours in Singapore + 20 hours to get back = totally surreal. Different hotel, different filming studio, one night of shooting (hopefully), so I’m expecting […]
Peterbilt 362
An early ’70s Peterbilt 362 Cab-Over. I got an unusual high-angle on this because the body is off the frame. Lit with natural LED on the front–with the black paint, it was difficult to get enough light on there, yet not overcook the logo and headlights. Lime-gelled strobe from the rear, into the exposed engine […]
The Mummies Ambulance
A groovie ghoulie for you, it’s the Mummie’s Ambulance. This was the official vehicle of the surfpunk band. Check these guys out, they freekin rawk. Just another insanely cool item in storage at Paul’s Junkyard. These early-’60s Pontiac ambulance conversions are pretty rare these days. Finding one with this paint job, in this condition . . . […]
Your Cop Lights, Sir
It’s a robot delivering a police light bar. Right? Paul’s Junkyard. Lit with AA Maglite into the shadow areas. I held an LED flashlight right against the light bar in 5 or 6 spots (lots of experimenting before I ever opened the lens) to get it to glow. I had to work quickly during this […]
Blown Up Roach Coach
More goodies from Paul’s, where Joe and I are teaching a workshop in September. This catering truck was blown up and burned on an episode of “CSI.” This is a 493-second exposure under direct full moon light. The shady front of the truck required a little LED flashlight to pull out some details and I […]
