Cool piece David and you have done a nice job with it.
I find this interesting…
Typically, the composition is decided on and set (subject/camera relationship), then the lights are moved to light the composition and adjust angles/highlights/shadows, etc.
If I’m reading this right it seems you have done just the opposite!
I somewhat "ball parked" the composition, but the time it took to move the light, then look through the camera, move the light, look through the lens, I just sort of got behind the camera and then started hunting for the reflects in the camera's proximity. I think shooting in a "hanging there" style it's somewhat allowable since there are no shadows or points of contact that more or less restrain the composition. (...or let me just say, I really don't know what I'm doing!) there! dang it!
Brian, I don't think he would, I'm already nervous about it considering it is sort of falling apart. It is a really cool subject to shoot and I feel privileged to have this chance. I should have more time to shoot some more later this week. I'll present it if I do.
Thanks everyone for the help! I really appreciate it!

Only its more like “National Parked” it for me! I’m rarely close enough for a ballpark!
If you think you might do a lot of this David and it’s feasible for you, tethered Live View is a godsend. Especially when working alone.
Oh it’s way more than “somewhat allowable” Dave! It just downright fun! Originally Posted by Texas Dave

(I think I got all the assistant’s blood processed off the knife! Well, the one that lived anyway! And this shot is why I now have to work alone!)
