Once more with feeling...
Well, third attempt at a "Home is..." shoot at Ribblehead. After attempt 1's white-out sky, and attempt 2's thick fog, we decided to settle for dramatic clouds and intermittent sunshine.
Annoyingly, we missed getting a train in shot by a matter of minutes.
The set-up was pretty much what we had intended in the earliest planning stages of the project, albeit with the difficulty that the lamp kept blowing over (this valley is such a wind tunnel), and in fact broke. A good reason for keeping a roll of gaffer tape in the kit bag...
A relocation up to the hills above Langwathby gave us another shot we wanted, in amongst the limestone paving. Again bleak, and again, bad weather.
Nice a setting as it looked, it took a while to find a big enough patch of flat ground to set up the furniture on...
The wind was an even bigger problem here, and in fact the gales picked up noticeably as the shoot went on, resulting in the destruction of a couple of the props (note the angle of the lamp, and the action-pose of the rug blowing away). Still, the resulting picture looks nice and eye-catching, and today took care of a couple of shots we'd been planning since the earliest days of the project.
