Staying Up Late
I've always been a bit of a night owl, its a blessing that I don't have to be at work until 10. Except that on weekends a "sleep in" usually means I wind up sleeping in until 12, Then get all pissy at myself for wasting the weekend and missing the markets. Hmph. This weekend was no exception, I even had a nap this afternoon.
Tonight I'm sitting up watching "The Cell" I have seen it about a billion times but everytime the late movie turns out to be a horror its a great excuse to stay up and enjoy my lounge suite.
I got a new computer and was looking through all the stuff to change over from my old one, and i found this picture from Orchard Girls, a shoot I did a few weeks back.
I really dig the look and lighting in this shoot, as far as viewing it as a set goes its not as consistent as I would like, plus the day was hard work. The lighting was full sun behind the girls and about 3 giant mirrors on stands pumping sunlight back into the front. The day was patchy and cloudy though, which looks great in the background (like in this shot) but it meant there was lots of stopping and starting. The whole shoot took about 2 1/2 hours, which is LONG for the models to keep the action up. Looking back on the edit it pulls together well, but the shoot day was a nightmare. Waiting for the weather then yelling "Go!" then "Ok, lets wait..." gah! just thinking of it makes me want to pull my hair out! I think the models all wanted to punch me at the end of the day.
Tomorrow its back to work, no big shoots this week and i have to go to Perth on Thursday, I am really looking forward to it, its only for a couple of days but I get to see my Mum & Dad and catch up with my best bud, who is back from a jaunt in the states...
