Shot during a recent trip to Florida - the "Indiana Jones" attraction at the MGM theme park. Not as sharp as I would've liked it to be (wife wouldn't let me walk with the tripod), but I like it anyway :-)
Well I'm prejudiced here :-) I am in doubt as to what was your photographer input here, for the lighting was probably taken care of for you, and the whole scene was created for you too. But Dr. Jones is my HERO!!!! Has been since I saw one of the episodes for the first time. And in all the films H. Ford is in, I consider him as Indiana more than whatever character he plays. Anyway I heard the forth episode with Ford is in production ! :-D
It still is a nice photo to look at of course, because yes, the lighting colours and composition are interesting. How many of that is your work ;-) thats the question. But I think Tony said it all by saying you might learn from this experience in how you apply what you saw when you have to do things on your own.
Hi Brian, Hats off to your wife for not letting your drag a tripod through a theme park. When you shoot in these situations (no tripod) the one thing you need to remember is to breath slowly and brace yourself against something solid. Another thing you can do is when you hold your camera bring your elbows down into your chest and sides to make yourself more steady. Your exposure indicates you probably didn't need a tripod anyway because you were using a fairly short lens. The image looks plenty sharp to me by the way.
These situation make for wonderful travel/vacation pictures. The next step is to see what you can learn from the experience and if you can duplicate the style of the photograph when you are not at a theme park. Of course they used lighting technicians to do light up that scene but I bet you could eventually do that with a couple of flashes, umbrellas and slaves. --Tony
And here I thought maybe you worked on Indiana Jones and we were seeing the real thing!! *grin* I like the warm tones, and the detail showed up really well!
