Underground Catacomb Photoshoot

Had the opportunity to join a number of local Indianapolis based photographers and visit the Catacombs under the City Market this past weekend.  About 1/2 a city block of dark, arches, brick walls, dirt floors, and general creepiness.  Loved it. 

I brought a local model with me, and did my strobist thing.  Used 2 Nikon SB-600s triggered with an Elinchrom Universal trigger sets, and LumiQuest SoftBox III's for maximum portability.  All of the shots were on Manual setting: ISO 400, F/5.6 and speed between 1/125 to 1/200 of a second.  Spent most of the time just working on different lighting positions.  All shots were with a Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8.  A good time. 

The only thing I've noticed in post processing is that most of the images are noisey in the shadows, so next time I'll drop the ISO to 200.
