Bob Ross, with a flashlight

February 24, 2015 by Alex Landeen 8 Comments

Step 1 – Go camping somewhere cool with happy trees.
Step 2 – Get to campsite without breaking your truck. If you do have issues, surround yourself with fix-it guys to scratch and grunt until repairs are complete.
Step 3 – Pour “creative juice” down your throat and fill your belly with delicious grilled vittles until it is dark and you are ready to work.
Step 4 – Locate your good flashlight.
Step 4 – Find your spot, get your subject properly framed and low-light camera settings correct for the ambient light. I went more in-depth on this in the BI post.
Step 5 – Open shutter and start painting.
Step 6 – Don’t fall down while running around nature in the dark.

“Well, you want to go up?”
“Possibly.”

“Sounds good.”

“Stained water is good for streamer fishing?”
“Yeah. Well, I think so. Shit. I don’t know, I thought so.”
“What are you guys going to do now?”
