day 71 - morning (no)sunlight



got all excited and ready for the morning sunrise today, had my golden reflector all ready to go and everything, just waiting for the moment when the first sun's rays hit the front yard, and...... didn't happen. clouds to the east = no first morning sunlight. but instead of giving up, i decided to just fake it.

so i used an sb-28 to simulate the sun coming up over my shoulder, and bounced it off the golden reflector for some early morning warmth. it didn't come out too bad.... the part of my face getting direct flash is blown out a bit, but i don't really mind that. and the golden reflector color shift made the clouds at the top of the picture go an interesting shade.

so yeah, i'm feeling it. i might just be really tired of all the lighting in a studio stuff i've been doing lately. it's not the most amazing shot, but it's a nice change of pace.
