Children Flying Thru the Air
Today Rachael and Peter and our next door neighbor Joey and I went to the park, right around sunset. I took pictures of them as they flew through the air from a swing.
I put an off-camera flash with an orange gel on a lightstand in the sand and pointed it up towards the flight path. I exposed for the sky and adjusted the light accordingly to balance the exposure. I sat in the sand to get a good angle, and used a wide-angle lens to accentuate their size in relation to the background, to make them look bigger and higher than everything else in the frame.
