Whitney Colvin, a senior at Halias High School, puts away ice skates at the Washington Park Ice Arena in Jefferson City, Missouri, Sunday December 2, 2007. This is her second season at the Ice Arena. She says that the Ice Arena is a very interesting place to work because of the type of people she gets to interact with. “When schools like the Missouri School of the Deaf come in, I know I’ll have the chance to connect with the students over the season. It’s a great place to work, because I get that kind of interaction.”
Critique
I have to say this was the hardest of all our assignments. Multiple flash doesn’t seem that hard, but when you can’t get your flash to sink with your partners, or the equipment guy at the window didn’t give you all the equipment that you needed, what can you do? I'm not very HAPPY about this pic or the circumstances I was given to get this done, so with that said:
My select was shot from the left side of the skate rental desk. My flash was off- camera and then Colleen flashed toward the inside of the room about 10 feet to my right. It was shot at f8 at 1/20 at an ISO of 800, at 95 mm focal length. I set my white balance to florescent and we gelled our strobes green. I dialed my flash up to +3. Because of the grid in front of me, I had a hard time with my automatic focus, but I felt she was in focus with good lighting on her face and with the skates a little out of focus, it gave a little movement to the picture.
