One of the most iconic things about my town is the "Red Bucket", An old dragline bucket that has been painted up as a photographic landmark.
It recently had a repaint restoration with the artwork commissioned by the local Traditional Owners, the Barada Barna People.
While I was out birding today, I took some photos of the bucket, but the reflected sunlight was too harsh to edit out. So I decided to try for a subtle nighttime shot.
For this photo, I used my 2x LED 20" light bars inside the bucket set to red to fill the inside light and cut down on the shadow cast by the flood light. I used my Godox V1Pro for a little splash light on the outside of the RH side of the bucket, where there was some shadow.
A little bit of burning to dull down some background features that were distracting, and fill the sky with a starscape sky preset and this is the end result.
