Evening Relaxation
This shot of having a relaxing drink sitting in a chair in the yard in the evening is semi-bogus. It was actually midday on an overcast day.
The evening sunlight was simulated with a monoblock in a 11" reflector for more concentrated throw from a high stand about 8 meters (25 feet) to the left. A sheet of CTO was taped over the reflector to warm the light. A flag was placed close to the strobe to crank down the illumination behind the subject. The camera was also on a high stand, triggered by the Pocket Wizard in my left hand.
I went for a subtle effect but could easily have amped it up quite a bit as the strobe was firing at half power here.
