A Strobist Wanna-be… ME!
I am a POSER. I’ll say that now so that everything’s clear and you won’t hold me liable for any misguided information you may or may not pick up from this blog post. I’m simply telling a story about one part of my life: photography. Don’t worry, I won’t take offense if you do call me a POSER… I believe the great ones had to start out as one before they became… well, great.
So here I am, finally comfortable with the tweaking of my camera (which by the way… I LOOOVE so much! I can’t say that enough) and I know there’s still so much to play around with but I’ve finally made up my mind to buy some inexpensive stuff to experiment with. Not to mention, Teach CONNED me into buying some other equipment. I’ll tell you all about that later.
So the next images I’ll be posting would either be lit by using a softbox or the equipment I was conned into getting. If the photo is of still images, most likely that was taken with a softbox. If it’s of my husband (my model via emotional blackmail), then it was taken with the tainted equipment from Teach.
You’ll see below two images of my lighting experiment. One is with the regular white cloth and the other with a white acrylic bottom… but both were placed over our bed (for my own comfort). I bought a regular desktop lamp for the overhead lighting and used my husband’s flash as a slave.
I hope you learn something, but again, I’m a POSER… so don’t hold me liable for any misinformation in this entry.
