Thanks! I spent an afternoon with these two models in Amsterdam, shooting them in various parts of the city with an 80mm lens and an off-camera flash unit. This shot is natural light with a 28mm lens, and was probably the easiest to shoot, but I liked it the best. The only tricky part about shooting this is that the counter is barely ten inches deep, so I had to cram myself into the window to get this image.
28mm actually, but it is medium format lens, so it is the equivalent of 19mm. This shot took almost two hours to capture. The athletes in the shot had to time their jumps precisely to land in the right pose and the right part of the image. To do that, we had to see each jump individually, then with two, then three, then all four of them. When we finally got it, it was a great feeling.
I also had secondary lighting from a couple of strong (500WS) flash units on light stands positioned behind the concrete walls.
As soon as I saw this rock I knew where it was. I made a series of watercolors there back in 2000-2001 or so (www.paqart.com). Great to see this again, and at such a nice sunset.
The protest was conducted in two languages I don't speak: Thai and Nederlands. However, I had the impression they were complaining about a prome minister who had embezzled funds from the government or who had been falsely accused of doing the same. They either wanted to punish or exonerate him, not sure which.
