Carolina Gas Transmission

SWS_0111-Edit

Most of you who know me know that photography is not my full time job. I work days as a systems administrator for Carolina Gas Transmission, a natural gas pipeline company and subsidiary of SCANA. Occasionally they ask me to shoot photos around the company for various uses. Today I traveled around the area with a couple of co-workers shooting some company facilities and rights of way. I was also commissioned to shoot environmental portraits of two of our employees.

The one above was one of my favorites. We found a spot of shade outside at one of our compressor stations and set up a couple of SB-800s on light stands. The key light was camera left with a Photoflex Lightdome XS softbox. The second was camera right and slightly behind with just a snoot. A reflector disk was held low camera right by one of my travel companions. Post processing in Lightroom and CS4.

This one was shot inside one of the compressor buildings. Same lighting set up but this one has a darker look and feel to it.

Oh and yes, it was hot out there today :P

Thanks for looking.
