A cloudy day made "sunny" !
Today I want to show an image that combines 2 things I have spoken about in my blog lately. Leading lines (see Sep.24th), and the Vector 3 mill candle light lamps (see Sep.27&28th). The veil of a bride often has a tendency to look grey or blue if it doesn't have a good backlight. On this cloudy day I added 2 "suns". One pointed at the back of her veil, the other in an angle on her face. The cloudy day gives a soft nice light on the dress and nature. If I had used a flash it would have messed up my foreground, but also the details in the dress easily. One of many things I love about these spot lights is how I can see exactly what I do, they give you so much control. If I had added no light we would had a grey veil, dark eyes, less perspective. I just love any light–tungsten, HMI, metal hallide–that makes you truly see what you are doing. Get out there and try some new lights, car lights, street lights, store window lights............

Hi Kenneth - we must meet up next time you're in England. How do you power lights like this when you're out in the field? I've managed to set up a very good portable 'studio' flash set up for locations, but I'm still searching for a good constant light solution. There are some great little lights out there, but how to power them...?
Phoenix, I think the lights he is speaking of are like battery powered flashlights (torch?) but VERY bright. Rechargeable, high power hand held spot lights. 3 million candle power is a lot of light.
