Warm Cottage

DateWednesday, June 1, 2011 at 5:54PM

My shoot was a beautiful cottage in Carmel. Problem was it's in midst of a forest. Any splattering of sunlight thru the trees makes the shot much harder. What I decided was to shoot at dusk, but light at dusk is very blue/cyan. Blue/cyan makes foliage lifeless. Of course, we can color correct for the color, but it makes incandescent lights much too orange. 

After color correcting for the blue/cyan, I felt the house exterior needed some sprucing. I used 5 small strobes...

1 in the entry

1 in bedroom

2 behind the tree for the walkway and front of house

1 for left side of house

The strobes balanced the dark exterior elements and made the house a little more inviting.
