I learned two things from taking this shot. The first was to try every single lighting option you have available to you, even if it seems like it won't work. To create the light of the television she's watching, first I wanted to go authentic; I just turned on the tv. The light was way too soft and dispersed. Besides that lighting option, I had a white-colored bike light, an industrial-strength torch, a 580 ex speedlite, and I tried them all. I tried bouncing them off a mirror. Off the wall. Off the ceiling. Nothing worked.

You know what did end up working absolutely perfectly? The light on the back of my flatmate's Blackberry storm. I propped it on the tv cabinet, and it looked more like the light of the television than the light of the television did. If you have access to this phone, don't overlook that as a lighting option. It's crazy powerful.

The second thing I learned was that, if you vacuum up popcorn kernels, they WILL pop in the bag.

Hi there! I’m just letting you know that I’ve used the title of this piece to help me make a title poem, which can be found here [link]. I’ve given you full credit in the description, but if you don’t want me to use it, just let me know and I’ll take it out!
Thank you :rose:

A very funny story. Do you still have any pop corn left?

No, that came up okay, but I still find sequins in the strangest places from when I shot [link] a year ago!

I believe that. I'm finding glitter all over me...and that I'm tracking it... because of my job. Halloween coming up means stuff with glitter on it is being sold.
