GKPE: General Ramblings thread

Portrait, fashion and (cough, spit) glamour photographers amongst you. Any tips on shooting a model on a beach for a thing I have on Sat? Trying to go earthy girl, casual and keeping clothes on!

Advice welcome from anyone who's done anything like it before is welcome.

Well watch the sun. You may need fill flash. What time of day?

I don't need convincing to spend money, that's the problem

Me neither but the prices Im looking at are getting to the "over the top" range
Might just get my 50 F1.2 L and call it a day.

Thinking afternoon. Lower sun may be handy if we stay out for a while.

Your going to need fill other wise you will have issues if they are facing the sun. Will there be any shade or will it all be in the open?

Oh watch the hands. You often dont notice them untill you look on the PC then its to late.

It's likely to be largely ll in the open. Although if we find some woodland nearby we'll do a few shots there too.
