Hafta be a short answer for now--gotta hit the rack, as I have a shooting gig tomorrow. :-)
First, I would recommend this book: The Speedliter's Handbook. Canon specific, with a lot of tricks, tips, and insights about modifiers, options, and so forth.
Not sure if you mean the vintage car shoot and the hospital/college shoot are the same gig?
Some white ripstop nylon from a fabric store is good for taping on walls, up the wall and onto the ceiling, and bouncing a speedlight off of for shiny cars--for shiny things you tend to want to light what the shiny thing sees (what it will reflect) rather than aim a light right at it. You can also stretch the nylon between two lightstands, bounce off it or light thru it.
I'll assume the hospital college gigs are different, shooting indoors. Lots to talk about on both types of gigs. More later. When are these gigs coming up?
Oh, and CONGRATS! :D |
