I always intend to write these things immediately ... that is the purpose of a blog, isn't it? But for some reason it takes me until Thursday to get Monday on paper.Monday was the day that the Miami Seaquarium shoot happened. A tropical wave postponed the shoot for a couple of days last week, and afternoon thunderstorms were still a factor on Monday. But by the time they rolled in, the shoot was over. Young dolphins unaccustomed to divers were more of a factor than the weather. And it was so frustrating to look up from the bottom of the Dolphin Harbor facility, see world class light shafts, realize that an amazing photo was possible, and then watch the dolphins do everything they could to stay out of the photo. I would like to think that in the end persistence paid off, and two or three moments made the shoot a success, but I'm not exactly sure. I got some nice photos, but my dolphin, diver and light shafts could have been truly amazing and wasn't. There may be a chance for a re-shoot.
It was good to work to work with Pete and Cuaks again.
