Just because it's still winter in Minnesota doesn't mean we can't enjoy an outdoor shoot. Thankfully, this past Saturday was unseasonably warm, so we grabbed a couple of friends, and a pretty model, before heading to a spot we've been itching to photograph for quite a while now:
The Soo Line/Arcola High Bridge!
The Soo Line/Arcola High Bridge!
Canon 5D Mark III + Sigma 24-105mm f/4.0 OS Art Lens
After making our way towards Stillwater, MN, and parking our cars, we trekked out to that glorious bridge, only to find the predictable product of a mild Midwestern winter...a bleak and barren landscape. Fortunately, we came prepared for this very situation, and broke out some color bombs and sparklers to add a much needed pop of color to the scene.

The great outdoors provided us with plenty of working space to use one of our favorite portrait lenses, the Canon 135mm f/2.0L, helping to compress the background, as well as enhance the effect of the colored smoke.
When the shoot moved underneath the bridge, we switched to the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art. This afforded a wider field of view to capture the colorful wall art, as well as an extra stop of light.
We had a blast on this day-trip, and look forward to revisiting this spot in the future. We hope you enjoy the photos and video! Please feel free to leave questions or feedback below, and check back soon for updates. Thanks!
