Reflectors are a tool a photographer uses often. But due to size, etc, we don't always carry with us. Well there is a reflector that does not take much room, and easy to store! A white shirt is a very simple reflector . I will bounce light on your subjects almost as good as a regular reflector.
To absorb excess light do the opposite and use a black shirt! Till next time Happy Clicking Lance

Hi all, had another wonderful year at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh Wisconsin. I have to give a shout out to the folks at EAA who plan and execute this very large venture. As well as the city and surrounding areas around Oshkosh. The setup which is huge with parking and camping areas surrounding still always flows very smoothly. Check in, bag checks if carrying in is all very seamless. Besides the planes of all types from warbirds to home kits which are of course my main focus of the show. You will find great education venues on how -to's and history throughout! If you never been here, or are thinking about it for next year. Be sure to download the EAA app on the iTunes store. It's updated every day and allows you to plan for the day. As it tends to get pretty warm this time of year, drink plenty of water, I also like to throw in a Gatorade during the day as well. Besides the Folks at EAA, I'd like to give a shout out to the Folks that run the Quality Inn and Suites in Kimberly, WI. I've stayed there the last two years, they're clean well-appointed rooms, good parking, and breakfast in the morning that helps set you up for the day. With a pool/whirlpool if you want to relax at the end of the day. Being only about 20 minutes from EAA it works out great. One last thing I'd like to mention is if like me your going there for photography. Plans what you want for ways you want to shoot. From static displays to ground to air shots. Remember your going to be lugging this all day, and there's allot of area's to cover. And not much shade. I learned the last year about this by Watching a presentation from Moose Peterson on the Kelby-One site. Thanks to Moose for the suggestions. I did use a Tour Classic | Hemp with optional staplettes. This like weight outfit could store the lenses I brought for statics which included a Nikon f3.5 AF-S 24-85mm zoom, and Tokina f4 17-35mm for static work. Then I carried my Nikon D4 with a Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR. The bag has enough space for camera cards, blower, side straps for a couple water bottles, small iPhone tripod, and a go-pro camera. Well. I hope that gives some insight if you plan on this fly-in or others around the country. Till next time! Happy Clicking Lance Have you ever just wanted to wear the artwork that you love?

Lance Welcome, I first wish to hope everyone is having a great week! I have allot to share this week. first growth in my own photographic ventures, second a shout out for a friends new phonebook. And lastly some quick observations on the Sony 6300 camera. While I've always felt comfortable photographing wildlife, landscapes and classic aircraft. The one thing I have never felt comfortable with his photographing people. So one of my goals this last summer has been to take on that challenge. I tried this in a few different ways. One is the photographing friends of mine playing baseball at area Park. The other was what occurred this weekend. I had the opportunity to expand my photographic horizons, was more model type shoot. Teaming up with my good friend Gur on this endeavor we we had chatted about often in the last couple years. That of her in traditional dress which we would then photographed in various areas of the city. Number One, a huge shout out to my friend all Gur, both for taking the time to do this with me and all that all she added to the shoot that day. And and also to her fiancé Chris for letting me borrow his wife to be for a couple hours. The day went amazing getting some wonderful shots of my friend which in turn helps me in developing my photographic skills. So my last thoughts in regards to this our relation to my title of my post. I know you all have subjects that we like to shoot. Never be afraid to try out something you you might surprise yourself! And also learn something in the process both, which of course is enriching. What will be the technical aspect of the shoot. Camera was made on the D750, with the Nikon AF-S 24 to 85 mm zoom. As it was just the two of us I did not use any fill flash or reflectors. You'll see some of the pictures below. My second share today is for my photography friend Scott Engel who just published a new book on the iTunes store. Scott has published other book's, if you not had a chance to check out his work I highly suggest you take a few moments to do so. Link at: https://itun.es/us/eowOdb.l

This weeks title is geared around when you Maguire a new camera, expectations are of course very high, be it better low light, or faster focus. But remember its going to have its limitations. So its important to get out and try it, test it a different ISO settings to see your results. by doing this ahead of time you'll learn what settings are going to be best for what conditions your working in at the moment. Doing this in advance sets you up for some serious shooting down the line! Till next time Happy Clicking Lance Themba, Long Winter Nap.
