CRT Man 14/365
Is it a bird?....Is it a plane? NO!! Its CRT Man.
This idea popped in my head a while back whilst thinking of ways to give context to my usually abstract rotation shots.
Had a quick look on google images at superman ripping his suit open revealing the S and framed and focused for myself. It was a bit of a bugger to expose for. I usually shoot at about f16 for the rotate shots so as not to create much noise from the flash bouncing about the room. Had to open up to F8 which was a trade off between good exposure between the two parts of the shot.
Next re framed and focused for the rotate part and noted tripod position. Back to original position and focused. I used a custom wb to create the colours for the rotate part so had to gel my flash green to maintain normal colours on the first part of the exposure. Flash diffused, set to 1/32 power and level with the camera. Fired shutter then fired flash with radio trigger in my mouth. Cap on and onto the next tripod position. Moved flash to camera right, at about 7 foot, snooted on 1/128 power pointing at the Perspex on the table. 1 pop of flash for every 30 degrees of rotate until we got back to the starting position.
Pretty happy with how this one came out as its pretty much what I had in my head.
Now I'm off to do whatever CRT Man does best. Or maybe I'll have a brew.
This was number 14 of my 365.
