Oscean trip..

mixed ocean pictures
Rainy day going out with my little brothers boat. Windy and dark sky made my day. Light changed rapidly as sun sometimes came throu and I must say there is lots more easier tasks than correct white balance a day like this. :D - So bare with me. Btw, we went out to fish - the only fish we saw was this one. (see below shot)

And above shot shows myself doing one of those - don’t know how to behave in FRONT of the camera. I really do have a problem with that. Behind me is Xiao Gang - the guy that I used to live together with during some of my years in China.

Minath Tirith?! No, it’s some huge river flow balancing tool. They do look monstrous.

Playing with ONE light

With inspiration from the One Campaign I bought a very light, light setup. I’ve been thinking about this light for many years but never had a light that worked. (too wide, too big or too strong.. most of the time too clumsy) \
\
I use two small 500w halogen lights put together, nothing else except a stand that is hung from another stand so that I can take pictures without getting anything unwanted (stand, cables etc) in the picture. This also works great for filming, thread above shows what it looks like. \
\
One problem using halogen this way (500W x 2 = 1000W) is heat. I don’t use any makeup for my subjects but I think I should. It’s too much sweat after just a short while. And people have a problem to look at me because of the strong light just above the camera.\

As always. Please look at these with a monitor showing gamma 1.8. If you’re using a PC they are way too dark. Get a mac!\
