Jeremy Green “Gunsmoke” 8/19/20

This shot is a self-portrait of sorts. I wanted to practice controlling my Nikon camera remotely with an app on my iPhone, so I decided to shoot a still life of my boot with the woodpile as a backdrop. In thinking of how to rig up the jeans with the boot, it just got faster and easier to step in the scene for real. Adjusting the camera settings, focusing, and shooting were done with the phone app, which was kind of a thrill. The sunlight streaming in was nice and things were going so well, so I decided to blow in some cigar smoke to add atmosphere. If you’re wondering where my left leg was during all this, I was standing firmly on the ground with both feet. It was a lot of fun.
