The Joker, The Ace & The Queen

After watching the famous scene in, 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' we had to re-create an intense "card game" filming just by holding the camera. As you can already imagine, the quality of the footage wasn't as clear a it could've been. Regardless, we were able to obtain some really good shots, that would've been hard with having used a tripod.

The video is available on YouTube here:

I also experimented with layering of subjects by placing the main subject in the mid-ground rather than foreground. I took advantage of the slightly low lighting by highlighting shadows to appear more extreme and adding to the grungy and industrial appearance of the background. Overall, I am happy with the collection of photos that I've produced, given the fact I'm not very familiar with using DSLR cameras. I also found the photos had a editorial feel to them though how the subject poses and works with the tractors. Original Edited
