A group of calanetics ethousiasts asked me to shoot some pics at their annual bbq as a surprise for their teacher. I'm afraid I wasn't the surprise she expected ;-)
The master of the house was (except for me) the only male at the party. He wanted a picture of his new BMW bike. We also had a lot of fun making this babe-on-a-bike parody.
LIGHTING INFO:
I underexposed the background to make it more dramatic. A single Vivitar 285HV to camera left, lights the subject.
I put a CTO (orange) gel in front of the flash and set my white balance to tungsten. That setting shifts the whole color spectrum. It makes the sky much more blue and neutralises the orange gel so the subject is neutrally lit. No photoshop, just lightroom.
