Gorilla in the Mist... - a photo on Flickriver

Gorilla in the Mist...

            Every now and then I come across a photo on a hard drive hidden away, gathering digital dust, never to be seen again.  This selfie is one such shot.

I shot quite a few versions of this image where I used two flashguns and a head torch for the lighting.  I spent quite a long time in the cold, tweaking the lights until I got everything 'just so'

It turns out I probably nailed the shot far earlier in the evening than I thought I did.

Roll on dark nights and especially fog for more of this kind of thing!
