I made it while shooting stills during the filming of a music video for Country Music singer Trisha Yearwood. I seriously doubt this photo will ever get published as my client tends to only run photos if they have the artist in them, and this photo is "just" of extras. The scene was too cool to pass up though, so I shot photos anyway. I guess I shot about 30 or 40 frames during the filming of this scene, and I liked this one best. I shot the photo with a Canon 5D converted it in Aperture. I dropped the saturation back to about 20 percent and then used the sepia tool and set it to about 80 percent, I think. Oh did I mention it was hot? I think ambient temps that day were about 98 and the humidity was somewhere near 90 percent or above. Of course it was hotter in this room as the HMI lights were all turned on, and a smoke machine was running...it was cozy to say the least. I left right before a HUGE thunderstorm hit. Thanks to the judges. I am really glad you all got to see this image, and that you responded so well to it. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
