Rupert, that isn't only grown men racing tiny toy cars. It is also
retired race car drivers racing tiny painstakingly handcrafted renditions of the cars they used to race in their younger days. One of them is
this guy, for instance.
Fujifilm X10
The lighting was a nightmare as far as white balance went in that place. There was a good amount of natural light through the windows and some large skylights in the ceiling. Then there were some sort of industrial strength indoor lights in the ceiling....probably sodium or some such thing. All I know is it was way different from natural light. I probably could have dealt with that alright, just the two, but then the television crew came in and set up their monster lights in several places, with gels over them for
their convenience. Consequently most of the photos have the people with perfectly fine skin tones over
part of them and with splotches of yellow/green, as you can see on this shot. The ones I've posted in black-and-white so far got that way because there was just no other way of dealing with the ghoulish splotching of green on their faces.
