Hi Andre, here's the info that you requested....
This shot was taken (once again) at Reading University...Camera settings can be seen to the right of this page.
The concept behind the image is a result of ideas that I usually write down or sometimes roughly sketch on a note pad (in this case).
Originally, I wanted a woodland type of shot but due to heavy rain the previous day we were unable to get the bike into the wooded area and the model & bike would have been absolutely caked in mud. I finally decided on an area in a field near some buildings which is visible to the top left of the image.
I wanted a typical low angle shot for this image so once again I found myself lying face down on the wet grass. A few test shots were fired as I was looking for just enough light to fall on my subject (1.9 M) with the focal length of the Camera being 28mm.
My Apollo Wescott softbox was once again used but the light source was lowered via my light stand for this desired look.
Shutter priority was the camera mode with an Auto white balance setting.
My only regret in this image was that my model turned up with no riding boots but the show must go on as some say!
There was very little post production used in this image apart from one or two lights from the distant buildings removed with the spot remover tool in Photoshop. Some clarity was added around the bike by using a 'softbrush' with Opacity down to around 70%.
I hope that helps?.....Brian
