A Burst of color this winter

2/27/2016

1 Comment

 
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!
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!

I finally gotten around to finishing up the last bit of La'Donya senior  photoshoot and all I have to say is wow! The girl has gotten a golden resilient soul that keeps on inspiring. I told her about my favorite times to shoot and she is determine to make the early rise and braved the frosty temperature of 32 °F! I gotta tell ya, my toes were fff...roozen, but it was all worth it. See beautiful images below and thank you La'Donya for being such a great sport! Enjoy guys and let me know if you have any ideas, comment or feedback.

This shoot took place right after the first frost this year when it dropped to the low 30s outside but then warmed up a few days right after.
