Claire de Lune

This is a shot from the recent wedding of the lovely Claire and Simon at Clearwell Castle.  We were lucky enough to have beautiful surroundings and a great couple, so things were made easy for us!
This shot was taken using a 580EXll high up on a stand, triggered by a pocket wizard, and using a fairly short home-made snoot to create a 'pool' of light around the bride.  There is just a bit of extra 'pool' to show off the lush red carpet.  We spent a few minutes shuffling the light stand back and forth to get the pool just where we wanted it. I had to stand somewhat precariously on a chair to get the angle, but I think the effect is very pleasing.
Sorry for forgetting the power settings but I didn't want to keep Claire waiting for too long as she had some partying to do!
