Lighting a Rain Shoot in the Muir Woods Forest | Godox AD300 Breakdown

Описание: What does it take to create magical, whimsical images in the middle of a forest… in the rain?

In this behind-the-scenes video, I take you deep into the towering redwoods of Muir Woods for a serene photo shoot in the middle of a flowing stream — using the Godox AD300 as my primary off-camera flash.

Shooting in light rain presents challenges most photographers avoid:
• Protecting your gear
• Balancing flash with dark forest ambient light
• Managing reflections off water
• Maintaining storytelling and natural posing
• Working safely and confidently in wet conditions

In this video, I break down:

✅ My exact Godox AD300 setup
✅ Modifier choices and why they matter in a forest environment
✅ How to balance flash with overcast, rain-filtered light
✅ Camera settings and exposure strategy
✅ How to keep equipment safe in wet weather
✅ Directing and posing a model naturally in a moving stream
✅ Creating a whimsical, cinematic feel in-camera

You’ll see the lighting process step-by-step, along with the final images that bring the forest, the rain, and the story together.

Creativity doesn’t stop because the weather changes — sometimes that’s when the magic begins.

If you want to grow your confidence using off-camera flash in real-world conditions, this video will show you exactly how I approach it.
