Description:

I have scouted this location a few times. It's close to our local grocery store, under an automotive bridge. A creek runs through this short walking path below the shopping center. The graffiti looked like a cool background to take a few shots. I decided to make the white balance super blue and shot the subject with CT orange filters to finish the effect.

I really like finding new places to shift the white balance and mess with strobe gels. This was a really nifty project and it only took half an hour to get to, setup, and shoot. The post work was done in Aperture and I used Viveza to tweak some of the colors around, which took an additional half hour.

My only complaint was I wish I had brought a third and/or fourth stand to stand off the background light sources and perhaps split them on either side or something. The effect was cool, but it was a little too blown out on the lower rocks.

This is the overall shot showing what I did with the lights.
