Frigidaire Lava

This must have been Irish’s old fridge, just dragged out back and left there, behind some of the abandoned tin buildings near his shack.

I was careful to compose it retaining straight verticals and horizontals (and then tweaked until perfect, in post), as well as placing the top of the fridge to break the line made by the top of the shack.

Shot as the sky was transitioning from dusk to dark, this exposure was fairly short for me, 70-seconds.  Just enough time to do the AA maglight on the fridge from 2 sides and hit the rear building with a few blue-gelled strobe pops.  In a separate, 30-second exposure, I left a red LED flashlight on inside the fridge and stripped it in, also in post.

Deceptively simple, a lot of thought actually went into this image.
