NIKE SPOT

Last week I shot a commercial for Nike in downtown LA. We followed a running team running 5miles all throughout downtown LA and featured a new shoe. Here's a screen grab! Shot with the Sony F55 and Ultra primes. I had to crank the ISO to 3200 to work with the ambient light. I was pretty happy with how the F55 handles low light.
