We are just going to test this app out and see how she works.
I should however make it pertinent to the blog which is about my photo journey.
So...
Recently I shot a couple of conferences which we use a lot of strobes for because conference rooms have hideous lighting.
I think a hundred years ago the architect union and the photographer union got together and decided to only build crap lighting in hotel conference rooms so that there would be more work for photographers.
I am just wondering what the photogs had to give up to the architects?!?
Anyway... we commonly aim our strobes up at the cieling (I am sure you have seen this and thought we were being stupid). This, however, allows the light to hit the ceiling and bounce back as a much larger (albeit dimmer) lighter source.
This generally works wonderfully. Yet i found that if i am shooting wider than 50mm, i am too close to the subject and my light (from the ceiling) hits them straight down. This causes huge shadows under the eyes, nose, chin, etc...
Not flattering.
(I will post some examples)
So, i bought this new flash diffuser which lets me shoot straight up, but also gives me some light that will hit the subject straight on.
I will also post some photos after my gig next week alomg with my findings on if this difusser does the job or not.
Damn... this was supposed to be a test of the mobile blogging app... it better friggin' work now!
