When doing a shoot outdoors, if the weather forecast is quite ambiguous I like to pick a location with some covered areas in case it starts raining. The Shore in Leith is a great location for that. On a good day, there are plenty of spots to chose from. On the day of the dance shoot with Stefi, however, we were not so lucky as it started to rain shortly after we met. Fortunately, I knew of a covered area where we could shoot.
The place is quite bland colourwise, so I decided to put my camera on tungsten white balance and light Stefi with CTO (orange) gelled flashes to give the photos a moody feel. Using a tungsten white balance during daylight gives the pictures a blue colour cast. The CTO gels on the flashes correct for that colour cast and insure proper daylight colours on Stefi. We spent an hour, hour and a half, on a very productive session.
Since our options had been severely limited by the weather, we decided to set up another shoot in Stockbridge. We first started at Mckenzie bridge, one of my favourite locations.
Later in the evening, we moved to Circus Lane for some action shots.
