OMG!

Details for this shot. Hm? I'm not sure that I'm able to properly express or explain with mere language this shoot / day. Planned shoot? Yes All my requisite shooting criteria had been met. Music? Yup. What was playing? I haven't a clue, but the station was a classic rock format. Was it hot? Yup. Been a very warm, but nice summer. It was a Friday and everyone was feeling a bit, oh, "punchy." Fans blowing, doors open... Bees flying around inside, you know, a typical set. Then; I was put on an unexpected time restraint, which Marie seem to take a sadistic pleasure in shouting out whenever I was fumbling or unsure of settings. If I took a moment to ponder or assess, I'd hear a loud, stern "Time Restraint!!!" and I'd look to see her smirking at me with a twinkle in her eye. My shots just weren't happening, so as I was trying light and camera settings, Marie would taunt me with poses designed to mock & dare me. However! Marie not being familiar with gear at all didn't realize just because I did not have me eye in the viewfinder and was mumbling that I had the wrong aperture and need to e/v + 2/3rds - does not, necessarily, mean I did not capture the shot when pushing the shutter button! :-) I may have some ok shots from the day, but this is retribution, a BTS of working with Marie and my favorite shot of the day! Outtakes - such sweet revenge! ;-)
