 Went to the parking garage at my work at midnight. Good thing I brought my ID badge, because they did come through.

SB-800 on stand behind me.

I was planning on doing a whole complicated setup with multiple strobes, but without radio triggers I couldn't get anything to work right in the light-sucking garage.

This would have potentially been cooler, but I settled for this. Had some trouble because I had to keep the on-camera flash closed enough for the sb to catch it behind me, so it got a bit too much light on me. I upped the contrast a bit so there's just the barest amount of info on me. I wanted to do the light crossing me instead of flat, and make some more cool shadows using the pylons off to the left originally, but it turned out okay.

Converted from RAW, remove noise, nothing much but USM and contrast adjustments.

Oh, my, what a thing to remember :-( The long shadow seems particularly appropriate to this subject.

Striking idea and shadows. But it's just too difficult to make out any details.

Love the dark mood of this image, and the shadows lead the eye to the figure. Nice job.
