Lightsphere Silver Dome and Sidelit
We had a bit of everything today. Got up on the moutain by 9am, and it was raining in the carpark. It soon cleared, and the sun came out, allowing me to grab the camera, and take it down the runs with me for a bit. After a full day on the mountain, I grabbed the Gary Fong Lightsphere to try it out against the setting sun on the drive down the mountain. As I suspected, it does hold it’s own in providing a softer light and bigger lightsource than a normal flash. The wind was howling and the sun was goin down fast, but we pulled over on the side of the road and snapped a couple shots in a section with a thin snowcover. I used the lightsphere with the silver dome, and took all the shots in a situation where there was side or backlighting, meaning that the subjects would have been silhouetted without the light from the Lightsphere. For the rest of the pics from today, go to my blog

i am loving the wide angle HDR looking images – Really pulls you into the image.
Thanks David, I actually thought a lot about whether or not to show images out of camera or use a style that I would likely get commisioned to shoot commercially, I obviously chose the latter just to add a bit of edge.
For all the photogs out there, fear not, I will do a little Lightsphere summary using the same images above out of camera to provide valid examples.
ooh looking forward to the summary of the lightsphere! Loving the HDR too it has an edgy fine art feel to it
Can’t believe you take you camera down the run though! Its either/or for me – but mind you I am crap at boarding! I look forward to seeing some more examples especially the chrome dome in action!:)
