A short outdoor night shoot

Got a opportunity to work with Venessa a few weeks ago. We had planned for an evening outdoor shoot and followed by a night shoot with the aid of a portable generator which we bought last year. For the past few weeks, the weather was pretty hot but the skies were in beautiful shades of blue. With the polarizer fixed on the lens, the blue sky was enhanced. However I was quite disappointed as I couldn't capture any catchlight in Venassa's eyes.

Before the shoot, I was really excited as I finally have a chance to test out the second-hand portable 600watt generator that run on gasoline. Night fell and we set up the lights and powered up the generator. We did a few trial shots and started shooting but that only lasted 15mins. We ran out of gasoline as we did not top up the generator before the shoot. We had assumed that we would be having enough gasoline for the shoot. Because of this oversight, we had to end the shoot early.

Lesson learnt: Never assume and always bring spare gasoline and battery pack.
