Master Chief's Bad Day

Just remember, someone's always got it worse. Master Chief, well, he almost always has it worse. Poor bastard.

 

Strobist: 430EXII in front of MC with a snoot made from a green page of a magazine. An LP120 behind the Chief with a deep red gel on it.

 

Everything (except the type) was in camera. I just took a bunch of party poppers and tried to fire them right when the flashes triggered. 4 out of 5 times I got it close enough to get some debris. The flashes were both on very low power so they really froze the debris. Comped it all together in Photoshop, gave it some Lightroom love, and ka-blammo! I think my favorite bit is the little projectile whizzing past his right arm.

 

A bad day gets even worse when viewed on black.
