In the Phoenix valley, they sell thermometers that go no lower than 50. No point wasting mercury!!!

When I was there, Phoenix was usually 10 degrees hotter than Tucson at any given time, so I'm guessing it never gets cool enough. Tucson sits in a valley surrounded by mountains and one of them, Mt Lemon, has a ski area which gets snow.

So if you ever get curious and are willing to drive two hours in the winter to find out...

Here I was thinking he was about to nail some kids with snow

Nice shot...but why is that dude smiling?

Absolutely. I never used to smile when I had to deal with that crap. This looks like an ad shot for Toro snowblowers.

Test shoot for model newcomer, Tori... Looking at the "Eye of Sauron" (Canon 200 1.8L) during the photoshoot, she was relaxed, composed, and natural in front of this beast-of-a-lens... Here's looking at watching her career grow in the industry!!! 1DX + 200 1.8L... ISO 320, f/2.0 @ 1/200sec... Profoto B1 + Westcott 36" Deep Octa for fill light (high above and right of model)...

Sweet!

Thats great! What do you find best to cut out for changing background?

Do you have an Idea ahead of time as far as color goes? Seems like you used matching gels..

Thanks!

I use the quick selection tool and layer mask

Sometimes i’ll have colors planned out but this had zero direction. It was a blue gel edited to match the background color
