strobist GTG at dunvegan keep

Two strobes to camera right, on 1/4 power, fired through a diffusion panel.

I'm still feeling the post-SoFoBoMo apathy but the rescheduled due to rain Strobist GTG was yesterday. I managed to drag myself along, planning just to catch up with some people and hold reflectors when needed. It was a beautiful, sunny day in the mid-70s. Perfect weather to be outside but a bit challenging photographically, lots of dappled light and sun/shade. We'd also made the slight mis-step of rescheduling on Mother's Day so a lot of people had other things to do. I did take a few pictures in the end and actually changed lenses, switching to the 70-200 F4L and trying to work on full body images, rather than just head shots. Maybe I'm starting to get some mojo back. For now, I just really enjoyed the lovely weather. For this shot of Rebekah, I was lying prone on the grass to get a low angle, shooting towards the longer end of the 200mm. I asked her to move and twist to get some motion in the dress and stop things being too static. The green door was a big part of setting up here and the doorway has a porch overhead that cut the direct sunlight.
