You know when you think of an awesome location, a long narrow old wooden bridge with a low interesting tree line, perfect direction for the sunset — then when you get there you realised that you made most of that up in your head? Yup, that happened today, we were greeted by a stumpy bridge with a really high dense tree line… bah stupid memory. I had borrowed Adam’s boom because I had expected to have to hang my flash over the water to get it far enough away from Sam, in the end I didn’t really need it. Still got some some nice fiery tree bokeh & got some mega dramatic lighting on Sam from my Apollo.

This is my favourite of the series so far, definitely. Harsh lighting from one side of the face to the other = <3
