Shots against all odds

Orphanage exterior gate - carlights

That didn't look good...

For the shot with car lights approaching the Gate, I've constructed a rig of a sort to hold two pocket lamps. I believed I can't miss with that concept, but I was wrong: pocket lamps have a "signature", something like a prescription-glasses look, concentric circles with sickle shape inside when in focus, and just rings of light when blurred. It wasn't working as it should, it looked messy on the rough surface. The shots were useless. I had to envision and scratchbuild a completely new light source, so I took a table lamp and directed it through two metal pipes. That was heavy and cumbersome, but I got it to work OK. And OK was just good enough. However, it took time and effort and prolonged the shooting for a while.
