When it comes to capturing images of rarely seen vehicles, it can take a little bit of planning. In this case it was research into the typical flight schedules for this aircraft, being a private airline the flight schedule is not published so it took some guestimating and a lot of patience to make sure I was there at just the right time.
Making an image like this takes a little bit of planning but would it surprise you to know, this was taken in broad daylight, outdoors using flash photography.. Well, that's exactly what it was. Two off camera flashes to fool the camera that it was dark, ice cubes to create the splash and food dye to colour the liquid.. You didn't think I would waste good cider did you!!
When starting out on a project like this, you need to have a think about the results that you are looking for. In this case, I was looking to capture the glow from the lamp while showing the detail of the lamp itself without any lamp holders to create a suspended in air feel.
Not everyone has a photographic studio at home, but that doesn't mean you can't still create a studio effect, all you need is a flash and a little camera wizzardry to create that studio look and feel.
