#189 - TV Time

I think this has to be my Wife's favorite thing to do. It must be seeing as though she does it every night. She loves her TV and so does her dog, Oscar.

I tried to recreate the light that would come from our TV using just one strobe. I put a CTB filter on it to give the light a slight blue tint so that it would be closer to the real thing. I snooted the light low so that it would run the length of her body, however it didn't agree too much with a white dog, a little blown out for my liking. Looking at it now I wish that I could have used a grid instead to spread the light a little more. I would have liked the couch to show up instead of just her head floating in black space. It didn't look this dark while processing but the all powerful flickr Gods made it darker when uploading. So why didn't I use a grid, well I don't have any yet. That's next on what my wife calls my never ending wish list.
