A shot of my upper body while I'm doing a dumbbell shoulder press.

Well here's the first thing I have shot in a while, my classes ended yesterday and I now have a week off to study and do whatever I want. So that means shoot. Organic chemistry is still putting quite a load on my shoulders. I hope to do some shoots with more models in the coming week so look for that. By the way, I didn't enlarge any part of my body in the editing for this image, this is actually how I look when lifting in the correct lighting plus mid-tone contrast enhancements.

About the Photo

*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF 50mm ƒ/1.8 II *Shutter Speed: 1/200 Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/5.6 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 50mm (80mm Equivalent on 35mm Film)

I shot this on a tripod using mirror lockup and a remote switch along with a 10 second self timer so I could get into form with the dumbbells. This was quite the physical shoot since I had to lift those above my head for every shot, there's more than 100 images taken of this pose. To the left of me I have a Canon Speedlite 430EX II being shot into a 60" Westcott reflective umbrella at an angle so the flash was pointed at the edge of the umbrella, this flash was around 3 feet away and at 1/2 power and at 105mm, it was gelled blue to create the cool colour temperature you see in the image. To the right of me I had a Vivitar at full power pointed directly at me around 4 feet away. Between the Speedlite and the wall I had a wall of diffusion pannels to create a flag between the flash and the wall so that light didn't spill over onto it so my background would come out black. I trigged the Speedlite with a Canon ST-E2 wireless transmitter and the Vivitar was triggered optically. I edited the RAW file as a TIFF, did mid-tone contrast enhancements and removed spots on my skin and saved as an sRGB JPEG for internet display.
