In this blog, I will share with you some of my tips and tricks on how we get the shot.

The absolute worst thing a photographer could ever do is use a on-camera flash outdoors to fill in shadows.  Even though we had a few clouds, I chose to go with a broad diffuser that is about one-stop, which means the material on the scrim cuts down the light by 1 stop.  Quite often I have the talent bring family and friends to make them feel more comfortable; and for me to have free assistance. LOL. I am using a longer lens than normal, Canon 70-200, 2.8; but my 24-70, 2.8 was in the shop.

We had the pleasure of Daniel May_Applegate, owner of Gear Monkey Racing, to come out and create a stir.  To be more detailed, he stirred up a whole bunch of dust to make for an incredible background.

The scrim jim is my go-to piece of equipment that is not only awesome for diffusing on bright sunny days; but also great for using it as a bounce when the clouds do finally roll in on set.
