This shot was taken for the UTATA Iron Photographer 17 Project.
It was really quite nerve racking to go into the locker room at the gym with a camera (not sure the getting ready to shower would've like liked me). I sat there and waited until it was empty and quickly pulled out my camera and flash and setup the shot.
Strobist info: SB-25 set at 1/16 power, bungeed to the hooks in the top of the locker, trigger via E-Bay wireless triggers.
The elements for Iron Photographer 17:
1 - an article of clothing
2 - something metal
3 - shot from a high angle
The first element, an article of clothing is just that. Something you'd wear on your body. We don't want it ON your body; we just want the article of clothing. It must be recognizable as an article of clothing.
The second element, something metal, is also pretty self-explanatory. It doesn't have to be entirely metal, but it should be primarily metal. The metal thing should NOT be the article of clothing (for those of you who were planning to take photos of your suit of armor).
Finally, the photograph should be shot from a high angle. We're not going to elaborate on that too much; basically we want you to take the photograph looking down on the subject. You decide on the actual angle.
