I was recently invited up to climb the story bridge by fellow photography lover and Story Bridge Climb CEO, Paul Lewin. I gladly accepted and was keen to experiment a bit and see what would go in to shooting a portrait at the top of the bridge. There were quite a few restrictions on what gear I could take up there, but was still able to manage a few lenses, speedlights as well as a small customised diffuser for the flashes.
I chose to shoot at sunset but found the harsh silhouetting of the sun stetting behind Brisbane city was a bit too much for a portrait and low powered lighting. i can’t wait to see what it’s like up there at sunrise! Here are a few snaps from the afternoon. Many thanks to Brisbane Photographer, Toby Scott who came and helped out with the shoot!
stunning Mr lobo 🙂
Great images Mark – and it was a pleasure to have you join us at the top of the bridge. As mentioned we run photographic climbs on a regular basis for all to attend. check out our web site for dates. We’d love to have you join us for a sunrise at some stage. Just shout when you are ready… Cheers Paul
