Gaz-53 русский

Gaz-53

Taken on the last photowalk with Zypkin. We found this old but good looking Gaz-53 in Kopli near the train station.

Took some time before we got it looking right. Just after this shot two guards appeared from the darkness and asked what we were doing. After I told them, that we were taking pictures of the old truck, they looked at us like at idiots :) and suggested that we must leave, and that is what we did. But I felt satisfied because I new that at least this one came out good.

Strobist info:
SB-600 behind truck cabin with green gel. Triggered by Cactus
SB-800 under truck, with blue gel. Triggered by me in strobe mode to paint the ground blue.
SB-26? (not sure) truck front, with C.T. Straw, hand held by Zypkin. Triggered via optical trigger.
SB-26? (not sure) truck left, on gorilla pod, acting as fill. Triggered by Cactus.

There are more picture form this photowalk to be posted. Stay tuned.

    Terrific drama with the light and color

    nicely done!

  4. I really like the way the light plays in this with the green in the windshield and the blue light under the truck. Very nice!

    WOW… it came out pretty well!
    Nice to see that we got the light right :) …impressive result!
    I think this shot benefits also of the wide angle… the crop of mines is definitely too tight :(
