The Light

Filed Under Other by Jenny Zink Reames

The weather here in Iowa has become suddenly Fall like. It’s wonderful to throw on a sweatshirt and get outside, but honestly, I am not looking forward to Winter. I am a natural light photographer. I hate strobes and prefer continuous lighting because I like to shoot what I see. I don’t enjoy metering and measuring light. I trust my eyes. The only problem with that is that Winter light SUCKS! It’s harsh and only lasts for a few hours a day. My shooting drops off dramatically in the Winter. I need to work a way around it because I have a good momentum going right now and I don’t want the seasons to change that. I am sure my neighbors won’t think it strange that I put up a big white tent in my backyard in the middle of winter, do you? Except, it would be cold in the tent and I hate being cold. This might take some brainstorming.
