I met Adam and Missy through the magic of Twitter (Adam: @feedmeshow<\/a>. Missy: @listenmissy<\/a>). \u00a0They are both avid cyclists, dedicated bike commuters, and all around nice people. Adam volunteered for my #BikeNYC photo series a few weeks ago, but early March weather was not very cooperative. Well, it finally got warm and we set up a shoot on Saturday, only to have the temperature dip back into the upper 30s… We met on Valentino Pier deep in Red Hook, a really peaceful spot seemingly within spitting distance of Governors’ Island and the Statue of Liberty. The pier was deserted, which allowed us to get these portraits with natural light.<\/p>\n

I then decided to go to the end of the pier, set up a couple of strobes and do some shots against the sunset. As I was setting up my lights, a couple of things happened. First, the pier was suddenly crowded with people who’d arrived to take in the sunset and shoot some pictures of their own. Funnily enough, one of these people turned out to be Clarence Eckerson of Streetfilms.org<\/a> —\u00a0someone with more than a passing interest in bike-related matters. The second thing that happened was that my flash triggers stopped working. So, as Adam bantered with our new friends, Missy held my light stand, and I tried to fix my flash, we lost what was left of the light. (Here’s a photo <\/a>Adam took of me while this was happening.) I did manage to grab this shot of Adam and Clarence in dramatic\u00a0contemplation\u00a0of \u00a0something dramatic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunate, but these things happen (not anymore though, because I’m officially ditching my cheapo eBay triggers for \u00a0Radiopoppers<\/a> – this was the last straw!). Since it was now pretty much dark, not to mention freezing, we made a quick last stop at this highly reflective school bus lot that I noticed on my way to the pier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A quick shot with direct flash for a different look (more Stop signs<\/a>), and we were ready to warm up at the Bait and Tackle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Much thanks to Adam and Missy for braving the cold with me for some pictures! Check my Facebook page for a few more pictures from this evening<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you #BikeNYC? I want to take your portrait!<\/a><\/p>\n
