Lantern


Lantern, originally uploaded by paggre.

Here is a shot of a candle in a lantern. I used the WB trick where you set your camera's WB to tungsten so that any light that is the temperature of daylight gets shifted to a nice blue. So I have a bare strobe on the background that has been shifted. Interesting, I took a lot of shots of this thing. It was for a photo challenge themed light fixtures on http://www.photochallenge.org. I included the entire lantern as you can see on my flickr stream. But I found this to be the most interesting photo.

This was a neat exercise. Again an assignment from Strobist.com. Set the camera to tungsten white balance. This turns the daylight from the window at camera right blue. Then you gel the flash just passed correct to warm things up from the left. In this case I used a full CTO and a 1/2 CTO gel.
