I have been working with Carleton University’s Faculty of Engineering for the last few years and I thought I would share some images I made during some recent shoots. I really had no idea what the grad students were working on or what kind of images they would make, so the first thing I said when I showed up was, “so let’s see some fire and explosions.” Happily, they said “sure” and led me right over to this puppy that burns gas and measures the fine particulate matter that remains after the burn. All of the work has to do with green technologies that the University is working on.
I used a slow shutter speed to bring up the ambient light values and gave the camera a bit of a nudge to give a slight ghosting effect. There is a flash (dialed down to it’s lowest power) sitting on the desk beside the subject to light an separate him from the rest of the scene.
