outdoor lighting on post

Several years ago, the only type of outdoor post lights were public streetlights. Now, however, homeowners are using outdoor post lighting for different areas of their homes.
Outdoor post lights, a type of pole lighting, are excellent for bright illumination because they provide a type of downlighting, meaning that the light comes from above and is cast downward. Just as streetlights cast light on the road, home outdoor pole lighting is used to cast light on driveways, home entrances, and landscaping.
When it comes to driveways, it is best to select outdoor post lights that are taller than the ones used for decorative landscaping. The taller the outdoor pole lights, the more the light to be cast down to the ground is able to spread out. This makes the area more illuminated. Matching fixtures of outdoor post lights are often used on both sides of the driveway to give the vehicle entrance a uniform look.
Entrances to a home, whether it’s the front, side, or back door, need to be well lit. Outdoor post lights are a great option, especially when you do not want to create a hole in the side of your house to install a permanent fixture, or if there is no room on the wall for installation.
Landscaping areas look great when outdoor post lighting is used to illuminate the area. Many decorative styles are available that provide daytime decoration as well as nighttime light.

How do you achieve that wonderful, warm glow in outdoor portraits?
I’m a newcomer to photography and just recently purchased my Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I love the beautiful, warm, glow that is achieved in many outdoor portraits. I suspect that there’s more than just great lighting going on… a filter, a gold reflector? Can someone help me discover how this effect is achieved?
I’ll try and post an example, but am not sure I’ll be able to.
“Warm Glow” is achieved in numerous ways.
1. Shooting with the first light of the day
2. Shooting with the last light of the day.
3. Shooting utilizing the 90 degree angle from the sun using a Polarizing Filter (removes glare and accentuates color).
4. Shooting using one of the ‘warming filters’. A straight 81 has the least effect, followed by an 81A, 81A, 81C, and 81EF; a few companies also make an 81D. There is also an 85-series that are much stronger and not as generally useful. Tiffen also makes an 812 filter that is similar, but has a slightly more coral tone as opposed to the amber/straw color of standard 81 filters. Nikon’s entry to the warming filter market is the A2 which is slightly less straw colored than the standard 81B and represents my favorite warming option.
5. Shooting using a Reflector (Gold) that provides the glow.
These are but a few options you can consider to get that ‘effect’ of warm tones.
