Wanted to get BFree and make portraits with him for over a year now. There were always reasons why I did not work out.
Finally we got together yesterday Saturday 26. Mar. 2010.
First we went to a Pond close to Plüderhausen and warmed up. Overcast skies with sunny spells meant to get ready for changing light. So I mounted my SB-800 to my camera and set the other one on a stand behind an 80cm umbrella. The Flash was gelled with a 1/4 CTO. I wanted to give the images a warm feeling. Set the Camera to manual and used the CLS iTTL mode of the the Nikons to balance the light!
We then moved on to look for some Graffiti as a backdrop. We found this green Graffiti on an old wooden shack. The Graffiti was kind of washed away which made it look darker. I mounted on Metz 45 CL-4 in a Lastolite Umbrella Box and had it over Bernie. The second Metz 45 CL-4 was mounted on a stand to illuminate the Graffiti and Bernie from the other side. I wanted the light to be harsh and strong so I chose a high shutter speed to close off the ambient light.

Snow snow snow … it seems it does not want to get warmer. I’ve had enough of the black and white in nature and am searching for color therein.
I must confess I found some color even in snow images. I must say making these images makes me freeze, stand in the cold wind or get wet feet. A few days we had nice weather and nice warm sun. Would like to have some back to get some more color in my immediate surroundings.
