day 59 - make it rain



saw this shot from zack arias' onelight workshop (which i tried to get tickets to, but they sold out too fast) .... and i thought i'd give the sprinkle rain a try, see how it goes.

so i talked alisia into it, and here's the result. things to remember:

1. it gets cold in september in chicago at night. alisia not so happy about that.
2. if the model is standing in the middle of the water, all you'll get is droplets in the picture.
3. try to keep your equipment (especially camera lens) dry.

so yeah. things i learned. the setup here is basic. i've got a softbox camera left at 1/4 power, and a lone sb-28 into a grid high camera right and behind alisia. so it's basically a light for the model and a light for the rain droplets.

i like this shot. maybe next summer i'll try a few more like it. late.
