This month’s photo challenge over at the Rock the Shot Forum (www.rocktheshotforum.com) is red. I couldn’t think of a better photo to enter than the one that I took of my cousin Stephen by the fire. This shot was entirely experimental for me. I had just bought some remote triggers for my flash and hadn’t really had a chance to play around with them. Stephen happened to have this flashlight that could be either white, green or red. We put the flash behind him and lit him from the front with only the red flashlight and some ambient light from the fire. He had been using the large stick to tend the fire and it worked perfect as a prop. The smoke from the fire added an awesome eerie feeling to the photo. This is over all one of my favorite photos that I’ve taken so far.

admin - Thanks, Erica! I’m eager to do some more stuff like this. It was a ton of fun…Minus my triggers only going off every other shot. Haha!
