Ugh...November in the Pacific NW--inspire me!

So, the famous Seattle rain has set in, and I've got a family sitting booked this weekend! And no studio.

We may reschedule...but I would love to see some examples of great on-the-fly, not in a studio indoor shots. I do have a pretty good-sized wall, kind of a weird yellow. And no backdrops. I did a friend's family in there last week and it was barely light enough to get decent pics...I think they ended up going with the ones we did outside, anyway.

So, would you all be so kind as to link your favorite non-studio indoor pics? Thanks in advance!

This one was taken in the garage. The garage door is fully open and at camera right. I used a gold reflector to lighten his eyes.

Jake, what is your backdrop? Your lighting is fantastic! My garage is currently full of just-moved-in debris...otherwise it would probably work well.

This is from my living room, large window, covered patio beyond, faces south.She is sitting om my sofa.

This was taken in my daughter's living room in Colorado, large window here again and a lot of photoshop for background.

same room, on couch


Same house different room


same room, same couch


In a family's home in Colorado, on camera flash



in my spare bedroom on the bed east facing 2 small windows on camera flash


Same room, and no it was not painted another color, it is a warm mid tone gold.


I only very recently got a background , and began using off camera flash. Shooting inside , in homes was where I began to learn photogpraphy.I use lamps to help with lighting.

I also used to throw a large piece of black velvet over a large cardboard room divider that I bought online for another use.Made a decent background.

The thing to look for is the light, anything near a large window can be great!

So, it's raining where you are too...bummer...I feel your pain. I wish I could go out and play...

This is my grandson, Seth...watching the rain. Days of rain...

I used a little fill flash and post processed in CS3...

Bye the way Trudy, nice images and post processing...

I say be a true webfoot and shoot outside anyway! Matching umbrellas and rain boots. I have in the past shot (during a downpour) from inside a parking structure with the rain soaked streets as a background. It looked pretty dramatic when done. I intentionally underexposed the background to make it even more moody.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Thanks. Backdrop is just the wall of the garage.

P.S- sorry it took so long to reply back.

Absolutely pouring during this shoot - took a long series out on the porch (1 shoothru umbrella camera right for fill) shooting out towards the yard. We decided the leaves were so pretty we'd give it a try despite the weather, and most of the shots the family chose came from these!

Shot outdoors on a rainy, muddy, yucky day....



It really made the colors rich...


...and it literally poured the whole time we shot these....under a breezeway downtown...







....and after....





Indoors by windowlight.....for the first three.....and added some off camera speedlight with the bottom three...( His mother's bedroom)
