More Affordable Lighting Tricks
Here's another lighting trick Rod showed me. The credit for this one actually goes to Brian Demint, who has mastered this little tool...
It's pretty simple. Go buy a heat lamp ( or get one out of your barn), and a 100 watt standard boring everyday average lightbulb, and have some fun.
One thing to remember here; the closer you hold the light, the more diffused it will be. Just change your shutter or aperture to keep your skin from clipping.
This light cost me $8 plus 50 cents for the bulb. I got it at Menards, so it might be cheaper other places. I haven't looked.
And if you're wondering why I am always posting photos of myself, it's because I find whenever I need someone to try something new on, I seem to always be available.Saturday, February 6, 2010
My Wood Floor
While I was in Menards buying parts for my soft box I found linoleum wood flooring in 5'X6' squares for $13, so I got one. It looks pretty good for that price.

Do It Yourself!
I ended up at Rod Evans' studio yesterday, and he told me how to build a soft box, so I did (with some help from Mom). I wasn't really counting, but I think it cost around $20 (The light is an extra $20-30). I think I saved about %90 on the thing, and it works great! Just make a pvc frame and stretch some nylon over it, and there you go.

New Profile Pic
I decided it's time for a new profile pic, but I can't decided which one I like best. If you have an opinion, (or if you don't but you like to pretend) leave me a comment or vote on the poll.

Lighting Technique
I know a few of my readers are photographers, so I thought I'd put this up for anyone who might want to play around with this lighting style.
Shutter speed: 1/125
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 250
Focal Length: 183
Camera: Canon 50D
I don't have the money to buy a lot of studio equipment yet, so I do a lot of improvising. My backdrop is a large piece of white cloth, and my lights are all 500 watt halogen work lights.
I hope you find this useful!
