" When is it back in the Depot?" "Friday" "*#@*%$#"

I've done several shoots for Mercedes Benz trucks & Driveline magazine over the years but this was definately one of the hardest. Talk about rush job. I get the call Friday to shoot the truck on Monday Afternoon about 150km's north of where I live. Usual stuff truck unloading, detail pics, that sort of thing. The shots then have to be in Adelaide for a Thursday deadline. No problem there then until I get the call Monday saying the truck is still waiting for a load of beer in Brisbane.

"What times it arriving back at the depot?" "2.00am" "What time do start unloading it?" "5.30am" " When is it back in the Depot?" "Friday" "*#@*%$#"

So a very early morning trip up the highway to arrive in complete darkness. It was a bit of a challenge trying to light a big truck & trailer with remote speedlites in a dark warehouse but the shots turned out pretty well in the end and when the sun did finally come up we got some really nice early morning light as well.
