I know websites are supposed to show your successes and achievements but I thought I should be more honest than that, and show the failures too.
This is Deanna (my ever patient wife / model) wearing a latex horses head – what do you mean you don’t own one? Everyone should own one! – setting fire to marsh mellows on a stick.
Off to the left is a single flash, no umbrella, no softbox, just the bare bulb. Not on purpose you understand, I totally forgot I’d packed all the tools to make the light larger. Ho hum. At least I remembered to gel it orange.
I tried using rear-sync flash so that I could drag the shutter and then freeze frame her later. But if you look closely you can see that so much light was being pushed out by the burning food and the fire, that she has ghost fingers on her right hand.
Lessons here are:
1) don’t drink wine before trying to use toys
2) wives are more patient that people deserve
3) my dog is bored by me
4) just because your wife has agreed to wear latex for you, doesn’t mean the photos will be awesome.
