Using the Lights of the Season

12/18/2020

Things change in a day.  One day you could be planning to go over to the studio and do some lighting set ups for your blog, and the next day 15" of snow falls and you can't even get to the studio. 

Well, we photographers know how to roll with the punches.  We can adapt ourselves to any situation.  Right gang?

So I have decided to look back over my use of the lights we associate with Christmas and the holiday season, and do a throw back to the holidays blog.  Plus one new photo from the past week.

The above photo is actually one of my very favorites using a lensball, a glass table and the lights of our tree.  Lensballs can be fun, and I have to experiment more with mine and animals!  Stay tuned!

The lights of Christmas offer some of my most interesting scenes, like the bright Christmas window at the Waverly General Store.

I really like to juxtapose seasonal colors and lighting against dark backgrounds.

Speaking of backgrounds, I purchased a new background this year just for use with kitties, and my cat, Luna, was kind enough to demonstrate her ability to stay still long enough for a photo.  This of course, after she examined every single inch of the studio, hid for a while under my platform and finally decided she was interested in the oversized Christmas ornaments, enough to settle in with them.  I added a little magical whimsy to the photo as well.

There is no end to ways you can use the lighting and colors of the season to do some great and interesting photography pieces.  Get out there with whatever you've got and grab some photos of the joy of your holiday, whatever you celebrate!
