another strobist meeting and we are making progress with learning how to use the softbox.
Lesson of the meeting:
- if it's dark, don't trust the display since your eyes get more sensitive to light (it's obvious, but i keep forgetting it)
- I really have to learn how to read histograms
- if you shoot in the dark, bring a powerful flash light (in my case I should buy one)
- find a way to mount a flash light
- don't forget to use your white card
- relax people and comfort them
- stupid jokes
- the model is the middle of the attention and not just a prop
- I really try to work with the people and relax them if they are nervous or make them laugh
- provide as much feedback as possible
- keep as much distance as possible and shoot mostly at 150-200mm outsides, 35 - 55mm does not really work for me most of the time
anyway some pictures from the last night
