At the Harold Examiner ongoing jail set for incommng productions. Taken with my little spy camera.

A fellow electrition helped with the scene, another held the lamp in place since we had no stands.

Camera sat on a loose toilet with my knife underneath to help it tilt up.

Since blur was a problem, I set the camera to timer, and stood back.

PS= Crop, levels, curves, saturation, brightness, high pass, some cloning of the light to tame it.

When I frist read it I totaly saw Silence during lock up (would of been a small inside joke). No stands??? how did you guys end up with out a stand for your light? Its like a scrim bag they go hand and Hand. I also work in the Lighting Department on crappy movies, well one good movie but I haven't seen it......

I find it pretty funny going through some comments people make about your set photos they have no idea at all.

well back to the gel board the boss doesn't have enough damn 1/8th ctb tweenie cuts.

Wow this was one of my favorites, it is one of the most fitting for a Dead End challenge. I think a lot us probably thought wow a prison shot would be prefect (especially with the popularity of Prison Break on Fox) but who has access to a prison? Thank goodness it was you. This shot is set up very well. I think the man's expression and way he is stand greatly enhances the shot. I also really like the you included the Silence During Lock Down as well as the shadows of the bars on the floor. I really don't see anything I would change. Its a dark image but its not like you could make this a light or bright image. Good job, especially working with the surrounds and lighting.

Terrific! I love the sense of defiance rather than despair in the body language of the 'inmate'. Nicely composed, great point-of-view, and effective use of the light to achieve several purposes. 8

What a wonderfull dark image. Love the reflection of the bars on the ground. The prisoners expression all adds to the overall feel of the images. Well Done --7--
