Pre-framed landscapes

[elephunk]

Boy, it's getting like a day without taking pictures feels like a day without breathing! I went down to one of my favourite local ruins today to experiment with some strobist stuff, mixing ambient light with flash. Felt like I had a very productive couple of hours so I thought I'd share some.











Thanks for looking.

Great use of the natural frames from that ruined building to show us the lovely landscape around you. Very creative work elephunk. You had a good day.

you ddi a good job of it, i didnt notice the flash on the inside, but knew it was necessary.
good "natural" job of it.

Nice shots! I do feel that they are a bit bland overall; there is little contrast between the wood and the surroundings.

Would you care to go even more Strobist and tell us your lighting setup?

Thanks for that Sybren, I might go back to the raws and tweak them a little, since they do seem to have lost a bit of contrast in the transition to flickr. My setup was simple, I underexposed the landscape by about a stop to get a little detail out of a pretty bland afternoon sky, and lit the foreground with an old 430 EZ held off-camera.

Thanks bradzo66, glad you like #4. When I get some time, I'm going to play with shopping something really incongruous into that 2nd window, like a giant eye, or an urban landscape, should be fun.
