In The Light
September 18th, 2009
Here’s another of Noelle Elise taken outside Orlando a couple weeks ago. I can’t say enough about how great she was to work with. I’m looking forward to shooting her more in the future.
We had quite a time getting this shot. It was a pretty open area in a state park. There’s a road just a little way to the left of where we shot this. We saw the light and the trees and wanted to do something with that setting so we started walking out to get away from the road. But when we got a fairly safe distance from the one road we discovered there was another road leading to a campground just behind where this was shot. There were people out riding bikes on both roads and we were close to being within sight of the campsites. We almost gave up and left, but at the last minute we decided to give it a quick try between bikes and cars. We got the shot and I don’t think anyone saw us.
I’ve been getting prints ready for two shows coming up. Sunday I’ll drive up to Detroit to drop off my work and another photographer’s work for the Dirty Show coming up in a week. I’ll be at the show with a group of friends on the night of September 26. And there’s another show, The Creative Soul of Dayton, coming up. I have two prints in it and will be dropping those off on Monday.
I finally have the studio back into a functioning form, though I seem to keep having problems finding the things I need, but I’ll be working on digging everything out and organizing it so that I can work efficiently. I haven’t hung any backgrounds yet, instead taking advantage of the chance to work with the windows and the light they provide before I block them with backgrounds again.
I’m making equipment changes with my lighting gear too. I’ll write a bit about that in a future post. The new stuff will give me new toys to play with when it starts getting too cold to work outside again this year.
