Here we go again. 29 days of 8 hours a day, 7 days a week in the Santa Booth taking photographs and printing on site with our new dye sub printer that is just beautiful to say the least.
Today has been super slow....but weekdays always are. It should pick up in a little bit after folks have supper and come to the mall.
Multiple lighting not only in front, but in the back also..8 lights being used. Fill is a ft white umbrella in "shoot through" position for total softness, and a small soft box to the left at 2/3rds stop brighter than the fill. A good ratio for soft definition and light direction. The rest of the lighting are small ac plug in flash units to light trees and background. Have added another light on left in the back to act as separation and hair light.
We enjoy doing this type of photography although, not artisticly exciting, it is a good profit generator. Just long hours and a daily grind though all of December until Christmas Eve...
This schedule does not leave any time for teaching and consultations, but keeps me out of trouble too.
I hope all have a great holiday season, and look forward to posting again in January.
