It Took Me Less Than A Second To Capture This

Shooting the jumbo straight on can be a tricky shot. The lights from the cab need to be exposed properly and when doing so the rest of the image will go almost completely black.  In order to light up the 2 booms additional lighting is required but these too must be controlled or the light will spill everywhere and change the “mood” of the image.  Additionally lighting up the cab to show the operator also takes some finesse to acquire the correct exposure.  This one image may look like a quick shot and it actually is at an exposure faster than a half a second but the setup time takes just a little bit longer.
