Keyed up cloudbank

@dailyshoot #ds225. Go high key today. Make a photograph that's all bright tones or dominated by white.

 

This was the assignment from hell given the day's other commitments, namely getting my daughter off to her camp staff training week in the Catskills. The only time I had a natural high key lighting situation was while driving in a torrential downpour after drop-off, wondering how her tent was holding up.

 

Gorgeous countryside, but not exactly the soft light I needed for a good raw image to work with, and I wanted to do this with as little post-processing cheating as possible. That went well. ;) I'm choosing this one mainly because the original exposure was as close to my understanding of "high key" as anything I could shoot this morning/afternoon aside from some very bad shots from a moving car in a rainstorm.

Things look better with B l a c k M a g i c well, maybe not this time, but I think you can switch when you get there.
