Picnic

Sami promised to go to swimming from Sauna in the evening, so I put up some lights for about three hours to get ready for the moment.

First I positioned my camera in the water and put my second flash to the tree at left of this photo, but after an hour of work I desided to move the camera because there wasn’t really any scenery from low perspective. I also tried to use remote control to shoot, but for some unknown reason I couldn’t get two pocket wizards working on one camera body, even with cords. So I had to say goodbye for my plan to exposure while sitting in sauna and actually come out to take the photo. Hmhph.

Finally I put my camera on tripod with long exposure to get the sky right. My main flash is in the tree right to Sami. My second flash is also in a tree, few meters behind the first one and third flash is at the other side of the bay, just powerful enough to light the left side of the photo, which would be black without it. And last, the head lamp Sami is using makes the water greenish. I have to say I’m little proud of my self this time.
