"I was amazed afterward how much
latitude the final frame had, and how the
detail on the backside of the fisherman
was maintained despite the fact we were
shooting into the sun. "
"We got up early one morning to shoot a fisherman on the Mekong Delta. Like most
people who make a living from the land or sea he was very capable and skilled at
his craft. I chose to shoot into the sun and from a low angle so the net and fisherman
would stand out agains the sky. I was amazed afterward how much latitude the final
frame had, and how the detail on the backside of the fisherman was maintained
despite the fact we were shooting into the sun. Like a lot of scenes, I doubled this up
on 60p ( slow motion ) video and the same scenario made it into the video we created
from the shoot as well."
