Jeanine alerted me to the presence of seven deer in our backyard this morning.  I managed a nice photo of this grouping of four thanks to Nala’s barking from the boundary of her electric containment fence. To her intense embarrassment, the local wildlife has figured out that she cannot leave our yard to pursue them. She seems truly dejected when they ignore her and go on about their business.

Daddy’s Home 2 the sequel to Daddy’s Home is now filming a Christmas scene in downtown Concord. It is amusing to watch as they shovel man-made snow back onto the sidewalks after the town spent weeks doing just the opposite.

I use big soft boxes to create soft light for many of my studio photographs. Creating soft lighting for movies is no different except for the matter of scale. This is one of two cherry-picker-mounted lights that will be used for the movie. Time permitting I may try and return to see if I can get photos of the stars (Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Mel Gibson, and John Lithgow) when filming commences later this evening. 

Well I did not see any celebrities when I returned but I did get to see the crane lights in action.  The first was positioned over the intersection of Main Street and Walden Street taking on the appearance of a monstrous alien head. The second was positioned to illuminate the Trinitarian Church which never looked so good at night.
