Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado
The Gunnison River, a tributary of the Colorado River, has a section of gorge that is extremely deep and very narrow with impressively sheer walls carved into Precambrian basement rock. It is said that certain parts of the gorge receive direct sun light for only a half hour a day, hence the name "Black Canyon".
This section of the canyon near the Painted Wall was being lit by the setting sun. The light colored streaks of rock in the canyon walls are pegmatite, a volcanic intrusion also from Precambrian times.
From fading light into the darker confines of Walsall Station, London Midland's 323219 arrives with a local service from Wolverhampton.

A nice little burst of sunshine, on our way up the steps and into the graveyard to put the Christmas wreath on my Mum and Dad's grave
During Diwali the temples are traditionally adorned with small oil lamps; fire regulations don't allow this custom here, so a tent is set up with long troughs filled with sand and thousands of beautiful little lamps and candles.

Die faszinierende Atmosphäre des Red Dot Design Museums Essen entsteht durch den Kontrast von Alt und Neu, von Industriearchitektur und Produktkultur. Das Museum ist im Kesselhaus der Zeche Zollverein beheimatet und befindet sich damit im Zentrum eines der bedeutendsten Industriedenkmäler des 20. Jahrhunderts, das 2001 von der UNESCO zum Welterbe ernannt wurde.
The fascinating atmosphere of the Red Dot Design Museum Essen is created by the contrast between old and new, between industrial architecture and product culture. The museum is housed in the boiler house of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, placing it at the heart of one of the most important industrial monuments of the 20th century, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
Beautiful misted late evening winter light streaming through a once magnificent avenue of lime trees. Sadly many are now fallen and although replanted they will never look as stunning as they once did. Ah, such is life.

The unmistakable sound of Bere Gratis filled Sibiu's historic city centre during the 2026 Sibiu International Theatre Festival (FITS). One of Romania's most enduring and popular pop-rock bands, Bere Gratis have been entertaining audiences for more than a quarter of a century with their infectious melodies, energetic live performances and crowd-pleasing anthems. As darkness fell, dramatic stage lighting and a sea of enthusiastic fans transformed the festival into a celebration of Romanian live music, proving why the band continues to attract generations of concertgoers.

Lightning strikes as a car passes by... it's nice when the elements come together.
It's nice to be storm chasing again. Ten tornadoes in three days!

With a very enthusiastic driver shining his torch on the smokebox (thanks Stefan) the last train of the day prepares to depart Cranzahl bound for Oberwiesenthal
Street lights far off light the trees above the bridge. A pretty blue hour view of this river in Maryland.

A juniper tree on the Island in the Sky plateau overlooks Monument Basin with its canyons and pillars. The afternoon sun is low in the sky, lighting up the edges within the basin.
DIABLO LAKE DAM LIGHTING IN EVENING LIGHT
Diablo Dam is an Art Deco design by J. D. Ross (1872-1939). Height: 389′
Annual generation: 689,400,000 KWh
Did you know: At 389 feet tall, Diablo Dam was the tallest dam in the world at the time it was completed in 1930.
One of three dams along the upper Skagit River in Whatcom County, Washington and part of the Skagit River Hydroelectric Project that supplies Seattle with a large proportion of its power needs. The dam was built in Diablo Canyon, a gorge of solid granite with vertical walls rising 160 feet from the river bed, yet were less than 100 feet apart. Construction began in 1927, and was completed in 1930. The dam began generating electricity in 1936.
So here is my lighting set up....nothing extravagant. :)
One light, never a reflector.
Don't ask me about the light settings because no....gasp...I don't meter! :P I am a big time eyeballer. I look at my histogram and the back of my camera. I don't EVER even look at my light setting...couldn't even tell you what it said on the back of my light...I just move the lever up or down. I know, totally backwards! :) I normally use the same on camera settings for every newborn session....ISO 100...1/160 @ 3.2 w/ the 50 1.4.
For those of you who are comfortable with natural light you basically position the softbox where the window would be....kind of feathered in at a 45* angle, sometimes a little more in front. I know, easy for me to say, I feel the same way about shooting in natural light....feels so...ummm...UN-natural...sooooo out of my comfort zone. I like being able to just move my light if I need to and not have to move the baby! :)
That's it!
ETA: I have received some emails asking what to do if you have a smaller space to shoot in....well my space is a little over 12 ft. wide, and pretty long (26 ft), but it's 12ft. wide here in the space I'm shooting in. You can see in that first image, I'm way over in the corner...probably still have 3ft on the other side of the light, and the beanbag is at least 2ft. away from the wall. With the box being so close to the bean bag, I've set up in a 6ft wide area before...so it's doable! A smaller box will put out more dramatic lighting as will the Alien Bee boxes (I used to have one). I've never used a Larson, but from what I know about them you wouldn't feather the light at 45*, just keep at 90* with the back of the box even with the back of the beanbag. I BIG PUFFY HEART my Westcott though.
My bean bag was from beanbags.com, the Large vinyl size, I believe it was $130...but totally worth it.
