Its been a little while since I have updated this so I figured I would put a couple things on this post both summer related but complete opposite in types of work.
First this is this Mojito for a summer mix drink article that is in this issue of GS Magazine. shot with two lights on a glass table on the patio at noon. Shot on the glass to get the reflection with the main light bouncing off an umbrella to camera right and rim light in yard to the left cross lighting the drink. An assistant held a white skrim over the drint to try and soften and block some of the noon sun. 
The second image is of a jet ski racer named Jim Chester for Western Power Sports. This image was a bit more difficult. With life jackets to keep me and an assistant from drowning we floated nearly a half mile down the intracoastal waterway, with my camera in an underwater housing and a strobe in a ziplock bag. I under exposed the background/sky by one stop and had my assistant hand hold a strobe up high. Panning with Jim helped keep him sharp while adding a little motion to the background. strobe was on 1/2 power in manual with the camera at f/5.6 250th of a sec. at 400ISO. Trouble with this was keeping the assistant in a good position as Jim circled us for the turn. View more sports and other photos at my flickr page at www.flickr.com/bobbyaltman
