I had the pleasure of shooting Sunny and Walt’s wedding on Halloween this year. You can view more images from the set here. I wanted to share this photo and the setup information behind it. I was shooting the formals on the back deck of their pastor’s house and trying to come up with something a little different. They already had the masks, so I can’t take credit for that. It had been raining and we were kind of limited to that little area which was somewhat dry at the moment. So we did a string of shots with the exposure closed down to f/11 to darken the sky and my flash was at full power to get a more dramatic effect. It just made sense considering it was Halloween, rainy, and they had those cool masks.
Setup info: F/11 at ISO 100. Nikon SB-25 at full power with 43″ shoot thru umbrella camera right. I was literally laying on the ground to get the sky as much as I could in the background.
