Two nights ago I did a photo shoot for our band, TerraCotta Half-Life. I was working on getting my main light balanced with the hair light (hidden behind the maple tree) and I noticed the potential for this photo of our singer, Jenny. It was pitch black out when we were shooting so I had total control over light and color making this a really fun image to work on. My main light was an Alien Bee at 3/4 power shot through a 36 in. umbrella and the hair light was my Canon Speed light at 1/4 power. Thanks to Jenny for letting us use her Alien Bees.

And for anyone who cares:

Camera: Canon 1D Mark-2
ISO: 200

Then Kevin started playing an accordion for reasons unknown and I made this gem of a photo.

Good luck to those racing in this weekend’s Ore to Shore bike race. Especially Eric and Sean who are riding single speeds. See you at the awards ceremony.
