Title: 2014 IFBB / NPC Ferrigno Classic Pictures and Discussion
Post by: Ron on December 02, 2014, 03:46:15 PM
Been really busy the last few weeks (first Miami for 4 days for the NPC Nationals, then Santa Barbara for the Ferrigno Classic)

Crazy and fun weekend in Santa Barbara taking pics of the Lou Ferrigno Legacy contest (both IFBB and NPC).
 Here are the complete pics from bodybuilding.com.  The lighting is a little darker because of the stage lighting made for a show, etc.

Thanks

It was his 1st ever show..... I'm sure that He will have more "flash" in the future.

I think that it would be wise to have the show in Febuary; right before the ASC

Should rename it to The $20 Classic. The winner gets in a phone booth with $100,000 worth of $20 bills blowing around for 60 seconds and what he can grab is what he wins. 2nd place gets 45 seconds in the $20 booth. 3rd gets 30 seconds etc...

Did Ronnie Rockel have to forgo $20 from his prize money for this picture?

Why Santa Barbara?  Just why?  LA has numerous perfect venues. Lower prices for everything. Better logistics. What the fuck? Why Santa Barbara?

Actually, it's $20 more if you want Lou to make a thumb up.

It would have been comedy gold if Rockel turned around after the pic and said "You owe me $20".

Arnold Classic stage is a whole different ballgame - 30 years in the making

The Ferrigno Classic - this was his first contest, and with an inexperienced them, you never know what happens. Still, two day contest - Friday was the IFBB, Saturday was the NPC, and it was Santa Barbara, which is a very nice town! Pretty far from a major airport though.

Lou Ferrigno actually was very great - posed with everyone, did not ask ANYONE for any money, and took pics with all.  He was in a good mood the entire two days, as well his family too.  Lou Ferrigno Jr. was very cool, very gracious too.   

The lights were ok, a little darker than I expected to shoot, hence the darker pictures.  We needed the lights to be brighter for prejudging, and for the evening, it could be 'concert' style.  Stage lighting for competitors isnt that easy - you need lights from afar that can project onto the face, hence you won't get raccoon eyes, etc.
