Rain, rain, go away...

The sun has let me down today. I'm supposed to be doing a photo for a local Christmas drama poster. After a set of samples, I got feedback last night and a few changes were requested. One of the things they liked, though, was "the dramatic lighting." I'd gotten some great shots when a ray of sunshine blazed through my studio window at just the right angle. So I got everything set up again, ready to go this morning when the sun came out.

I'm still waiting.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm excited about today's forecast (only 71 degrees when a few days ago was 95). But I'm not set up to recreate sunlight in my studio. I put together a few options and they still work but I'm a little annoyed with the sun. Inconsiderate thing...

Today is "cool and cloudy". Tomorrow's supposed to be raining. Friday's supposed to rain. Saturday? Rain. Sunday? In-laws.And while they do bring a ray of sunshine with them, they also sleep right where the still life is set up.

So for now, here's another one of those random shots that turned out kind of cool. This is a cropped-but-otherwise-untouched photo that I took last summer. I know it's not a perfect photo but still...the sun co-operated this day!


Hmmm - does the red make you think Christmas?
