so there isn't really any concept or goal with today.... i got some new equipment in the mail yesterday and wanted to try it out. what did i get? glad you asked:
1 new 10' light stand with a boom arm! so excited about this one.
1 60" optical white umbrella.
1 new justin clamp.
1 new optical slave trigger.
1 package of roscoe color correcting gels.
yep, a pretty good haul right there. so i figured i'd get to know my new stuff today, see what i can come up with. one thing that has always bothered me has been my inability to position the flash directly over my head without having a light stand in the picture. so that's exactly what i did right off the bat. i set up a flash right over my head with a green and blue gel on it pointing straight down, and then the new 60" shootthrough camera right with a cut of cto on it to warm things up. i was hoping to get some killer color contrast, have a greenish blueish hat and shoulders and everything else warm and correct, but it didn't quite work out that way. instead it just looks like i'm standing under a fluorescent light. but anyways. after yesterday's bout of desaturation, color is a welcome addition.

i love that beautiful boom arm.
