I wanted to experiment with flash for this next shoot. I also wanted to explore colour and the different aesthetics coloured gels could create. I tried this shoot twice, first to experiment just with flash guns and then second to add the coloured gels. I found when using the flash guns that due to the wind and the long exposure that the end result created motion blur within the trees branches. I found this far too distracting. During my one to one with Richard M I mentioned that I didn't like this part of the image. He suggested I use the flash last when taking my photo. Expose for however long and then fire the flash gun in the last second. This was something to trial in my next shoot. I also decided against the coloured gels as I found they created cinematic feel - like a still from a horror film. This narrative was completely against what my actual narrative is. I decided to not use the gels for my future shoots.
