Nikon D800e and wide angle zoom lens, and in camera flash.Inspiration
I was shooting for Hibu magazine and looking for examples of that regions Summer attractions.Editing
Post processing was done in Photoshop with filter and slight background isolation via darkening and blur.In my camera bag
For an assignment like that I usually have a tripod, 2 camera bodies, flash, one zoom wide angle to medium tellaphoto lens;an extreeme wide angle lens, and a 300mm lens.Feedback
Do not be afraid to step off the curb and move close to the action. Fill the frame with the subject of interest. In this case I also felt important to include a bit of the enthusiastic crowd.
