Recently, we had the opportunity to do some shooting in our good friend Paul's house. It is empty at the moment and undergoing major refurbishment. So, in the absence of a studio we headed out there one evening to have a bit of fun.
We have had this shoot in mind for a while now, Catherine in her skyscraper shoes and coloured tights. So off we went.

We had a great laugh and toook quite a lot of shots.

The lighting was a simple one light set up; an SB800 and about 1/4 power through a white umbrella from camera left at about 45 degrees. The camera was set to manual at 1/250 and about f5.6 or so. I simply did the test shot and then the rest of the shots were all the same. Quick and easy.
Of course when you shoot in an empty house there are bound to be a few problems, such as... no power. And that means no light. Well, you can imagine what happened... we lost track of the time. I only realised this when the camera was starting to struggle with the autofocus. So we had to pack up in twilight, because I forgot to bring a torch, stupid boy. Fortunately the only thing that was left behind was a filter.
I think the constant flashing from the bedroom windows raised a few eyebrows with the neighbours... enough said!
Thanks to Paul for the loan of his house and to Catherine for being my model... again.
