It’s not often that I will venture to the bottom of Snoqualmie Falls for a photo shoot, but last night we threw caution to the wind and went out on a mini-adventure. I guess that makes Carson one special senior! It was well worth the hike. The sun was setting fast, and we had just a few minutes to capture the golden light on the waterfall’s bluff.
I made the mistake of leaving my lighting adapter in the car, which meant I wouldn’t be able to use my flash off-camera. Gabriel and I improvised a solution, which I think worked just as well. He held a large reflector off camera, to which I pointed my on-camera flash. The reflected light illuminated Carson, giving some dimensionality, and still allowed for great exposure throughout the image. I loved the result. I think we’ll try this more often!
