It was unusually warm for January, and it was accompanied by an unusual, gloomy, fog that really gave the photos a unique feel to them. <\/p>\n<p>On the way back to the venue, I noticed this subway steam grate that was screaming my name. I knew it\u2019d make a cool pic, and just as important- I knew I could make it quickly because I wanted to get them back into their reception. I\u2019m a huge fan of <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/6y8e3tv\" target=\"_blank\">Rogue Flashbenders<\/a>, and I use several of their modifiers throughout the wedding day. In this image, I used the grid in order to control the amount of light spilling around my subject, and i balanced exposure value to allow the ambiance of the scene to be prominent. Also, lets not forget about the traffic light. I waited a few seconds for it to turn red because I wasn\u2019t crazy about the green cast! <\/p>\n<p>I made a few cool frames here, and it took less than one minute as well! So, in a total of 5-6 minutes, we were able to add a few interesting images to the day\u2019s take, and they\u2019ll definitely add to the album spreads. The combination of the fog, the historic area, and the steam from the subway were all key elements that I couldn\u2019t resist. Win, win for my couple, and for me, too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikonusa.com\/en\/Nikon-Products\/Product\/Digital-SLR\/25482\/D4.html\" target=\"_blank\">Nikon D4<\/a>, Nikkor 70-200 VRII, ISO 1600 1\/30th @ F4 \u2013 Rogue Flashbender Grid on a Nikon SB910 triggered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pocketwizard.com\/products\/transmitter_receiver\/minitt1-canon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pocketwizard TT1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cmphotography.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmphotography.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter.jpg\" alt=\"curtiscenter\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter-710x472.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter-222x147.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter-320x212.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter-207x137.jpg 207w, https:\/\/www.cmphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/curtiscenter-96x64.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend while photographing Stephanie and Andrew\u2019s wedding at The Curtis Center, we talked about them taking a few minutes during the reception to head out into Independence National Historical Park\u2013 right outside the venue- to make a few quick images at night.
