i offered to come help mark out and to be involved in any way i can after i found out that he was going to be trying these packs out, in real-time via twitter , his blog and uploading behind the scenes shots on flickr. i thought this was brilliant and called him up to see if i could get involved and he was excited to have me come and be a part of it. so all day today from 7am until 5pm, i helped around with setup and assisting where i could, but mostly i was taking non-stop photos of 'behind the scenes' stuff to be uploaded in real time, almost as if i was a fly on the wall at a large scale production. you can see all the photos i shot at mark's flickr account here .
below is a few of such images, with more linked to above.
while i was shooting and these shots were being uploaded, people were writing in questions they had about specifics on the shoot, f stops , shutter speeds, what brand of beauty dish, how far away the key light is from the model, what degree of grid, etc.
and in real time, they were answered with a tweet back as well as a picture that i went out and took just for their question. how flippin cool is that? i think it's a great idea and am happy to support mark in what he's doing with a transparent photo shoot and giving people the ability to be involved regardless of their location or skillset.
oh and one more ps before i sign off :
