What do you guys recommend to evenly illuminate a large old barn? I have been trying to take a shot of the Milky Way rising above an old barn nearby but after some first attempts last night in between clouds, the foreground is too dark and not illuminated evenly making for a pretty poor overall image.
Initially, I had hoped to utilize some light that was in the area, a house nearby has a bright streetlight that lights up a large portion, turns out it only lights up about half though. I don't want a bright white light, but am not sure what I can use to light the entire building.
Has anyone used headlights on a vehicle to light up a building? I may be able to position my truck that I can put the high beams on and aim it at the barn, either from behind where the camera will be located or from the side. My concern here is that I possibly introduce some shadows that are then going to be problematic to remove.
About 3 weeks until I can try again due to the Moon phase, but I want to be ready for next time!
Thanks.
