Location
This was taken at night in my backyard swimming pool.Time
We took this photo on a black night, no moon light.Lighting
I used an Profoto Acute 2R 1200Equipment
For lighting I used a Profoto Acute 2R 1200, camera, Nikon D800. To get low, I used a 4 inch bound book and propped my camera on it to get as low as I could poolside.Inspiration
I love action shots and I love sports. It just makes sense.Editing
I ran this through Nik Silver Efex then in Adobe Lightroom to brush in more black behind him.In my camera bag
Nikon D800, Nikon sb910, aa batteries, chapstick, ipod nano, granola bar, duck tape.Feedback
Get comfortable and be patient. I had this poor kid do several laps before we were both happy with the result. Get a high speed light. The Profoto Acute 2R 1200 is a beast! It did really well for this session.
