mrterrible Junior Member 27 posts Joined Sep 2005 More info | May 27, 2006 15:01 | #1 I was wondering if I could get some help on my first outdoor photo shooting. I've took some ok pictures in the studio with the lights but I have never done any on location. Ihave to take some models at a park next week and wanted toknow what all I needed. I have a canon 20d and the basic lens that comes with it. I also have the 580 flash. Do I need anything else. Please help.

It's a great reflector and only $8 more than the 32" reflectors. I love it, and its a great buy. http://www.bhphotovideo.com …EG&addedTroughType=search

If you have an assistant to hold the reflector a simple piece of white foamcore will do. A 4X8 foot sheet runs about $10.00 at any art supply store.

Do you know how you'd light in in the studio to get the results you want? Inside the sutdio I have a slave flash system with the umbrella. It has 400 watts and it has two flashes. It works okay. I was trying to shoot outside around 2:00 in the afternoon. My budget is like two hundred dollars.

The shot abot was used with a 1600 alien bees in with a large softbox with out the front baffle. It was shot around 6pm, as sun was about 1 hour from setting. Gear List

I used a full lenght reflector to throw some light on her. I am just beginning to work with reflectors, but having a lot of fun.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

We walked out of the studio where we were shooting and did a couple of fast shots in the parking lot. "If you're not living on the edge. You're taking up too much room !"
