It was time to update my daughters photos from last year. I wanted to do something different than what I've done in the past so I took the opportunity to make some time when we were visiting my parents in Idaho. My father no longer farms but still has some land and equipment. There is an old grain mill on some property of his that I thought would make for some great images. The first image in this series is my favorite from the building. It took the longest to setup but is what I had pre-visualized when I picked this place. I'm using a mix of natural light and light from a speedlight. I gelled a speedlight (cto) and hid it in the lamp next to the chair and triggered it wirelessly. The room was pretty dark so I had to bump my ISO quite high to let in the ambient that I wanted and to also allow for an acceptable shutter speed.
The last two images were taken at some nearby sand dunes. I used a 22' beauty dish with an AlienBee 1600 and a vagabond mini battery pack. The battery pack has turned out to be a great investment, especially when paired with the beauty dish. The battery lasted about 45 minutes and ran out of power just as I had finished with my last image for the night. I really enjoy off camera flash especially at sunset. - enjoy
