Photo-A-Month Behind The Scenes
April's theme was "Textures" which is pretty broad, but I narrowed it down by applying it to climbing and came up with just shooting the textures of a rock being climbed. That concept was pretty simple, so I waited for a day when we were out bouldering and got myself a hand model to pose for me on a problem that presented a decent example of texture, and then I just snapped a few shots.
The available light was conveniently fine here, highlighting the colors of the rock contrasting with the climber's skin and not being too harsh and blowing everything out, so I stuck with that. I kept the climber's face shadowed and subdued to keep it from being a focal point, and also cropped him mostly out to draw the eye to the left hand. I also used an aperture of F2.8 on a 100mm lens for all the same reasons. I'm happy with the result.
