“Home Sweet Home”

"Home Sweet Home"

This is one of the last images made during the video shoot last week in Tampa. I brought the bride and groom out into a shaded portion of the driveway, positioned them in the bottom right hand quadrant of the scene for nice visual balance. See how the driveway leads the eye right to the couple. I underexposed the background ever so slightly so that the couple would "pop" from the the scene. Exposure and loop lighting pattern on their faces was created with my off-camera Quantum WITHOUT and umbrella in this case because of the high ambient illumination on the scene. The umbrella soaks up two stops of light which I couldn't afford to lose in this shooting situation. Anyway, the setting, the expressions, the colors, and composition combine for a nice image. Camera specs; Canon 40D fitted with 10-22mm lens at 22mm, F9.0 @ 1/250 second, ISO 200. Enjoy! -David
