[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 621587, member: 23493"] Shot a wedding on Saturday and the light died sooo quickly - there was burning off being done which was causing the light to be darker to start with and it was also the first really cloudy day of our autumn here - which again meant no golden hour.... The shoot didn't start until about 5pm and the light died by 5.20pm So what did I do? I used what I had with me and what was in my surroundings to make our own sun. This first shot is my assistant stood to the side just behind the couple, I put enough of the strobe head in to make it look like a setting sun through the trees without blowing it too much... [ATTACH=CONFIG]254813._xfImport[/ATTACH] These next ones I saw a yellow light in the car park behind where we were shooting - this first image is just to show what it looked like, [ATTACH=CONFIG]254811._xfImport[/ATTACH] so we made our way over and by positioning myself and framing it right, I reckon we got a good likeness for a beautiful golden hour shot.[ATTACH=CONFIG]254812._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is how dark it actually a few mins later. [ATTACH=CONFIG]254814._xfImport[/ATTACH] There was also a fountain nearby and again just by right positioning and framing, I managed to use the water droplets to create some nice light bokeh. First pic shows the fountain more, 2nd is where we got the effect I wanted. [ATTACH=CONFIG]254815._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]254816._xfImport[/ATTACH] Even though the shoot light was less than ideal, I was pretty stoked with what I managed to eek out of the location, and more importantly, the couple were stoked!
