Location
This was an assignment to cover all the processes of producing pure silver coins.Time
Middle of the day, all photos were inside the warehouse.Lighting
It was a very small room with extreme temperatures. (silver melts at about 1800 degrees). I was able to use 2 portable strobes- one for front fill and one strobe over the shoulders and hit the back wall.Equipment
I used my Nikon D800 with a 24-70mm, with 2 portable strobes. And i did use a tripod.Inspiration
I loved the idea of this shot, but the logistics were a little tough because of the extreme heat and small area to work with. I had to have them do a couple pours to get the composition I wanted. So every time they poured the heat was intense and I was wondering if my camera could handle it, but it did!Editing
Yes, i added saturation and sharpness in certain areas. I took my reflection out of myself in the mirror of the protective head cover.In my camera bag
I just added the Nikon Z7, but i have my D800 as backup now. I have a 16mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm. A on camera external flash that i may need for flash fill. I also have 7 portable strobes i have if needed for the job. I shoot a lot of interiors and i need multiple strobes for those type of shots. Radio slaves to work on the strobes. I have been using Camranger to see images on a tablet when I have the opportunity to use it.Feedback
Ha! Have a tolerance for high heat? lol. I love the challenge of these type of shots.
