Shot for the UTATA Iron Photographer 30.
For the first time ever (I think) I have finished one of these ahead of the deadline!
The Elements required for this shot:
1. A tool
2. Something Rolled Up
3. Cinematic Aspect Ratio
I had a totally different shot in mind for Iron Photographer 30, but I won't be able pull it off by Wednesday (maybe later). Instead, I decided to take a picture of my dinner tonight; Burrito with cheese, guacamole, spanish rice, a dolap of sour cream, and a few chips.
Strobist Info: Sigma EF 500 DG Super at 1/8 power through a white Westscott Umbrella above camera left, triggered via a Pocket Wizard Plus II.
Here are the elements for Iron Photographer 30:
1 - a tool
2 - something rolled up
3 - cinematic aspect ratio
The first element, a tool, ought to be self-explanatory...but almost certainly isn't. Generally, a tool is a hand-held or hand-utilized implement used to improve performance of a manual task. We're always willing to consider other definitions.
The second element is something rolled up. You may be asking yourself "What the hell does that mean?" Well, you get to figure that out your ownself.
The final element is a cinematic aspect ratio. This is moderately technical. Aspect ratio is the term used to describe the relationship between the height and width of an image. It's usually expressed as "X:Y" or "XxY." For example, the traditional 35mm aspect ratio is 4:3...four by three. That's also the aspect ratio for traditional televisions. Widescreen televisions and movies use an aspect ratio that's wider, such as 16:9. We want your photograph to be cropped to a cinematic aspect ratio. We don't care if it's exact...just get it close.
