A Lantern warm n Bright

A Return to the Farm...

Last night on another one of my YLPSDW outings we made it back out to the farm with Clay and Becca attending with a crazy guest appearance of Scot or Kevin or whatever you decide to call him. Sadly great coldness and a shakin lil one made for a quick but entertaining shoot. But after dealing with the cold for a bit we made way to Chili's for warmth, Chips, and interesting coversation.


My ever fun and warm Lantern...... Soooooo can't wait till it's warm to do some sweet shots sort of like what we have here, but Outside :)
I like how this one came out, Yay for oldschool technology. Lit by Dietz Lantern and 1950's era Mining lantern aimed at angled ceiling behind her.

This is the shot that I want to do outside, have her lit about the same and have the lantern not blown out. So pop her with maybe a gelled strobe and have the house or a barn or something underexposed and looming in the backgroud. With her either looking on at it ( so me shooting from the side over her shoulder) from a distance and then one of her about to enter, or from the side of her like here.

I liked the really warm tones of the lantern and the wood wall, all with the way the light fell off really quickly and shaped her face was awesome.


Thanks again Becca for comin out and Clay, rock on token! Hopefully we'll start to get a bigger turnout for the outings :)

love the first one, simple shot. simplicity is nice. the second one is really nice too :), though it would be neat to see it with the flame visible too. but how you have it works just fine :)
