More LRS
Well, this is another shot for this weekend that I edited tonight. For the most part, after going through the images, I am pretty happy with them. I wasn't so happy when I was shooting them though. I guess I had a vision in my head on how I thought the shoot was going to go - and nothing really went the way I wanted it to. I think part of the problem was that my background wasn't that big and I wasn't able to do any full standing shots of Denise. I think had I bought another sheet and used one on the floor and the other up it would have worked. But I didn't buy 2. Oh well...We are trying to figure out where we may go this weekend. Like I said yesterday, WeatherDock seems to think that the weather is going to be good. We are just having one heck of a time trying to find a place that is relatively close that would be good to go. We were thinking someplace in Ventura, but our internet searches are not going very well. It starts to get a bit stressful when you can really find a good place to go.

Nice shot of Denise. Ventura should have some camping areas.
Hi Jane!
It really works pretty good and all I am using is a blue flat sheet that I purchased at Ikea and I am holding it up with some PVC pipe across 2 light stands. It doesn't have to be elaborate just have to get it up. If you don't have any strobe/flash units just set it up with a window at a 45 degree angle from the person's face and it should turn out pretty good.
Then again you can do some amazing stuff with just a single Alien Bee studio light. They put out A LOT of power and with an umbrella the lighting is beautiful!
Wow - not really sure about that. I am not really too familiar with the non-DSLR cameras but I do know some of the Nikon CoolPix 8000 series cameras have pretty good resolution and can take accessories like external flashes and such. I am not really sure about the models. I would recommend either B&H photo or Canoga Camera if you were to mail order. If you could budget a bit more the Nikon D50 or Canon Digital Rebel are really both really nice cameras and a good base that you could expand upon.
