figured why not add some personal protection rounds as well as target. I mainly did it for the diffrent color casings.

the hard part about a 365 is what to shoot when its dark when you get home from work.
I'm sure it will get easier as the days get longer. or I'll bring a point at shoot with me to the city.

The set up:
http://mattwan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/softbox1-7-2011.jpg
A bit obsessive, but i wanted to play with one of my strobes and softboxes.


Any suggestions on how to really really black out the background or blow it out?
Keep the subject far from the background and have the lights really close?

Probably won't have to worry once I get my background, but it'd be good to know if I'm too lazy to bring extra toys to whatever I want to shoot.

1. Increase distance to background.
2. Lower light power.
3. Add grid to modifier.

Yeah name change is necessary every 4000 posts. :)

Grid allows you to control the light. So instead of having it blast to entire scene, you control it and the spill-off to things like the background and you can create pleasing effects with it by narrowing the light to only where you need it.

just got home from my 8 hour wrestle with the network.

Crazy **** on Riverway. Neill, we might have to head over there sometime tomorrow to shoot. It looks crazy


Unfortunately the storm wasn't as crazy as it was made out to be.

I did get stuck in snow as the entrance to my work was unplowed. Some nice guy in a SUV pulled me out with a tow line. He didn't ask for anything but I insisted on giving him 20 bucks for giving a helping hand.

Anyone know if Microcenter is open.. might head over to pick up some stuff to build this computer for a friend ugh

Are there any local shops out there that rent out the Spyder colorimeter(or any others) for monitor calibration?

Thanks,

I bought mine really cheap on Ebay. The Huey.

These things also have "live" adjustment capability and can mess with the brightness of the display based on ambient light. My wife used that for a while, my room is generally constant enough. What I'm saying is it's good to have it permanently.
