I was just killing time on Craigs List and I saw an event where they needed a photographer for a Glo Run. The powder color runs destroy cameras/lenses... and this is only marginally better (lasers).
I have no idea how much they would pay... but I would guess that most pro photogs that have a f/1.2 lens and a 6D/5D mkiii might ask for more, but that is neither here nor there.
I went to their facebook page
and I saw some shots... they were grainy... and I suppose it was fine considering. But if you aren't allowed to use 2nd curtain flash... then I guess you could expect to those underexposed types of shots.
But it is a run... so I was thinking... ok... maybe iso 12800 and f/1.2, manual focus or just using the center AF point, or maybe manual plus live view... But @ 1/30 of a second, there will be blur...
So if you have still posed shots... the blacklight exposes the facepaint... so how do you get a good shot doing this?
And having said all that... their February 11 post seems to have lasers which could destroy a camera's sensor... so under no circumstances would I considering doing something like this... but... I still like the puzzle of how to get solid shots out of it.
So maybe in post... over expose a little, select for the faces, and then play with the sliders to raise the shadows... lower the brights... Ugh.
I can't think of a way to get really good shots that I would be proud of...
Photographer needed for The Glo Run Harrisburg at Carlisle Fairgrounds on 4/11 from 7p to 10p.
Photographer must be able to shoot action shots at night of glow themed run without over blasting with flash. Must have the correct equipment and meet specific shot requirements.
Drone photography is preferred.
