Project 365- Day 28

in black and white, day to day, kids, photography, Project 365
I got a new photography toy in today. A nice big 42 inch round 5 in 1 reflector. It is a gift from my husband. He knows I hate flash. I hate studio set ups. I like to see what others can do with lighting, I just don’t feel personally creative when I am shining a big light at someone. What makes it different with a huge disc that I am shining at someone, I don’t really know yet. This was big and I needed someone else to hold it for some of my shoots. I was able to hold it myself for others. I know that there will be no sneaking up on a three year old with a shiny disc bigger than they are, but it will be fabulous with teenagers and my own spawns. Normally I would have had to mess with this shot a bit in camera RAW. It was in a wooded area, with partially sunny skies, which would have normally given me shadows or a generally dark picture. With the reflector, this is SOOC, except for the black and white. I am in LOVE!

I am with you. I HATE flashes too. I am just beginning to learn about photography but that is something I learned quickly. Beautiful picture.
