Well, yesterday we wrapped up the photography for what is now a three
year book project. We've got the shooting done!!!! Yee Haa!
Tons of editing to be done. We'll be doing some serious photoshopping
of images to place the letters in places we couldn't reach. Like 75
feet up on a tower, or 20 feet out on the blade of a spinning
windmill... Stuff like that.
The entire project was shot on film and proved to be quite compelling
because the look/feel of the images is very distinct as it was done
all with the OM system and Ektar 100 film. Most shots were done with
the 35-80/2.8 zoom, but we used just about everything to complete the
project. Two shots in particular used the 300/4.5, another the 200/4,
one the 100/2 and another the 28/2. If I recall correctly, I think one
shot was done with the 24/2.8 and another with the 50/1.4. But, mostly
the 35-80 was used.
There was one picture that I had envisioned doing that finally came
together. We floated one of the "dutch letters" across a pond through
a fountain. We had enough wind to make it happen, otherwise we would
have needed to use fishing line. It took three tries to get it floated
across. We gaffer taped the letter "F" to three packing "bubbles".
I'll photoshop out the packing bubbles.
Note: Gaffer tape does not adhere to two-year-old pastries.
