This one is short and sweet because I'm headed on vacation and I don't have too much time here so I just figured I'd get to the point.. Happy Accidents, thats all... Yep, they happen to everybody just about every day. Sometimes you don't even realize they are happy until AFTER the wedding... At that point, you can put them into your reserves and turn a happy accident into a sweet moment! In this photo example, Sol was shooting a portrait moment with her bride who was patiently waiting for her call to walk down the isle... Taking advantage of this time and the beautiful contrast of colors, Sol quickly placed her associate over left shoulder with a speedlight on a stick (monopod) extended so that she could position the light coming across the wall at a 45 degree angle, spilling down more naturally. A snoot helped focus the light into this more controlled spread of light. Its pretty tough to reach out with a 5 foot extended monopod with a snooted speedlight attached...even tougher to HIT YOUR TARGET.... DOH... In this case, I kinda like the moment where it appears a sunbeam is coming across the wall...adds a layer of texture. Who would of thunk it? Put your light on the something other than your subject? Sounds easy enough...but how many times can you remember doing that? I know I'm going to try it more often! Nice shot Sol! love me some happy accidents! Cheers! matt
