Leesa and her husband Rick hammed it up beautifully to create a frightening prairie scene. Our plan was to create ominous shadows by placing a flash with a blue gel filter behind the villain. Leesa was lit with a second flash equipped with a 1/8th inch spot grid to focus the light just on the window. An orange filter on this light provided contrast and drama. Her $5 Walmart plastic pistol looked a lot more lethal with the long shadow it created! But Rick's machete was real. Click to enlarge.
I love photography but have been away from it for a long time. I spent many years at Eastman Kodak company as a photographer in the development studios and on location. A career change took me in a different direction but my passion was recently renewed when my daughter opened a photographic business and I bought a high end digital camera. The "digital darkroom" has replaced smelly chemicals and hours in the dark. Great software and new camera and flash technologies have opened a whole new world of photographic possibilities!
