And now, dear readers, we interrupt the (apparently) usual house buying conversation with some photography news.

Last weekend, 25+ photographers and myself descended upon a location in the far reaches of south Austin known as Dunvegan Keep.

A gentleman took his rather large backyard and converted it into some prime sort-of medieval themed photography backdrop. There’s all sorts of gorgeous things to shoot people infront of, behind, through and in.

The day of shooting was a success – I spent the majority of the time experimenting with natural light – diffusers, reflectors and several other tricks – and had a great time.

As did the other photographers, from what I’ve heard.

Edit: You can see the rest of the photos here.
