...make lemonade.
So, I had this perfect photo shoot planned out. I was going to shoot some of my friends from school. We planned to go down to the Santa Monica pier and and take advantage of the setting sun and it's perfect light. Well, that didn't happen. It was a nasty gloomy day, with a chance of rain. Ugh!!
Panic set in as we tried to think of another place we could shoot that would provide some weather protection. We decided on the LA Farmers Market. I was covered (sort of), just in case it decided to rain. Well, good news was, we didn't get rained on. Bad news, multiple kinds of light in one location leads to one tricky shoot. Oh my! So, in the words of Project Runway's Tim Gunn, I had to "Make it work."
I learned a lot during this shoot:

I learned a lot during this shoot:
-My friends are so great for agreeing to be my models and troopers for standing out in the cold just for the sake of the shoot.
-When lighting sources are mixed and the sun is still overhead, shoot in the shade...at all times!
-Fluorescent lights are EVIL!
-My friends are beautiful.

It's easy to get shots during the golden hour when the light is perfect. It's nice to occasionally get a chance to practice shooting in lighting situations that don't always go your way.
