Make do with what you have.

Saturday night, and I'm playing with lights in the studio. Years ago, it would have been drinking until 3 AM. Time is a funny thing, as well as growing older.

Now I am %* years old...what...you thought I would tell you. Ha! Age is an irrelevant number, with a coincidental correlation to time.

Whats the rant about?


I am giving this business all that I can. Always looking for creative ways of doing things, and always eager to try something different. I'm not allowed to spend any more money, so now I am looking for ways to improvise, and use what I have.

I have found several useful projects that actually yield professional results. This experiment proves that you can yield professional results with ordinary shed stuff. The credit goes to Simon J. I found the article here http://strobist.blogspot.com/ , and apparently some other folks actually put the article together here http://www.fredmiranda.com/





I wont go into details, but lets just say that...yes Strobist...I probably burned a hole in the ozone over my house. 10 - 100watt incandescent bulbs. Yes thats right....1000 watts of nasty yellow goodness. After dealing with the white balance, the results were stunning.

I know, I know...all the professional equipment I have and I resort to this? At the moment, I do not shoot high profile commercial models, although I would like to! The real suckers cost about $2000, and then you have to have a power pack to run it off of! Eventually, I will end up getting all this. Its the principal of the matter here folks. Besides a good quality camera and glass, improvise on the rest.
