"Dancing In The Midnight Sun"©David A. Ziser
I was trying to get the post up quickly this morning and stumbled across another image from yesteryear. This is another film image I made about 18 years ago in La Jolla, California. We headed to the beach to catch the setting sun which made for some great sunset photos. Well, I like to shoot far past sunset while there is still a faint glow in the sky. What happens is that the sun sets and this "cobalt blue" firmament covers the sky. The bright full moon in this shot supplied the "midnight sun". The strong wind added the dramatic element to the shot with the bride's veil blowing off to the side. The slow shutter speed was negated by the firing of the remote controlled flash from behind the subject. We wrapped the shot, tried to find the camera bags in the dark and headed home - a nice shot, I think. Camera specs: Hasselblad fitted with 40mm Distagon lens, F5.6 @ 1/4 second, Kodak Vericolor 400 film. Enjoy! -David
Wow. Like wow. To be honest wedding photography isn't really my thing, but that shot is awesome. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing capture!
ReplyDeleteKeep posting old photos from time to time.
Wow, imagine my surprise when scrolling thru your blog to see this image of me and Robert Volk modeling for Golden Gate School. This was in Northern California, though.
ReplyDeleteI remember the wind trying to knock me off the rocks and trying to stand still for a long time! Your assistant needed to shine the flash light on us so you could focus your camera. I was so impressed that you were able to capture this shot in the dark. It was a great session and a lot of fun. Thank you!

I think this is one of my favourite photos of all time! The pose, the veil, the colours, it's incredible!
