Boat pictures in particular are AMAZING. I’m ready to get some dry ice and head to our nearby Cypress swamp again. Thanks for sharing!

@paddy: Karl is a makeup artist and goes by the pseudonymn Karl Lagerfeld. Obviously not the real Karl Lagerfeld :)

@Dan: the smoke machine we used was an electric, plugged into a generator.

@Shannon: speedlights vs. strobes – where to start? Speedlights are portable which is their main advantage, they lack in the power and recharge speed department. You’ll have trouble negating daylight with a speedlight, especially at midday and / or with a light-sucking modifier. Strobist.com is a great place to start.

I loved the one light shots at the end. A great selection of well executed images. Shame about the gear landing in the water, lesson learned I am sure: never leave a light stand up and unguarded.

the question remains…. where does the speedlite’s role of usability and the strobe’s differ?

Hey Lee, I met you in Greenpoint a few months back when Frank Zurita brought you out to Van Gogh’s. This video is great. I just got a pocketwizard mini and flex for Christmas and have been playing with em. When I told MaryLaura about it she said I should check out this vid. So here i am. Keep up the good work.

Great vid, amazing pics! so sad about the pack :( anyone got advice for smoke machines on location? I’ve got a cheapo indoor smoke machine, anyone used them with a generator?

Jeremy,
There are two sources of the fog/smoke, smoke machine took care of the atmospheric and the water is from dry ice. Unfortunately I lost half my dry ice as it had to be purchased 2 days before the shoot.
