Working Fast

I do volunteer photography for the local senior center. They're working on a new article for their quarterly magazine about the people who volunteer there. And they asked me to take some pictures, we had a very small-time window to get the photography. The outfit that I chose was—

SMDV the 60 cm softbox

Evolv-200 pocket flash

XP – 200 extension flash head

Neewer medium stainless-steel light stand

Neewer swivel casters

Quick release plate

Impact super clamp

Canon 5D-III camera

Canon 24/105 lens

Godox X-Pro controller

I set the camera in program mode, auto ISO and TTL flash. I use the exposure compensation dial and the flash exposure compensation dial to find tune the exposure. This allowed me to concentrate more on posing and composition.

Senior Prom

Last week I did photography for the local senior center. It was a fund raiser to raise money to remodel their kitchen. I had two lighting setups, one for full body shots and one for portraits. They named the evening Senior Prom.

Soccer - 3

Photographed another Soccer game yesterday. Used my Canon 7D and Canon 70/200 – f/2.8 lens. I got some good pictures but I was a little off. Ever have a day like that, everything seems to go okay but you feel like you are a half step out of sequence.

Move the Mall

I do volunteer photography for the local senior center and they recently asked me to set up a photo station at one of their events. I used a Godox AD600 strobe and a 40-inch beauty dish soft box. For the backdrop I used a multicolored foil curtain (https://www.shindigz.com/mardi-gras-foil-curtains/p/CTNPRE-PGG?gclid=CjwKCAjw7tfVBRB0EiwAiSYGM9lOCQUKgLKF6Mg1M22Ql36Knq2F-5OiXIwUM6c7MVDyAPz0or3SmhoCD6wQAvD_BwE . They provided props for the participants to use in the photos. It was quite a learning experience. I had problems with my light reflecting off of storefront windows, bright overhead lights and people who just walked right through my set up. I ended up moving everything into a back corner and lining up some chairs to keep people from walking right in from my camera. I think the photos turned out not great but probably okay. There are a number of things I would do different if I ever do this again, like I said it was a great learning experience.
