On Reflection - 30/12/2009

Still chucking down with rain here, thick fog, blocked drains, horrible. So, on with the photo odyssey from the archives. I was talking about altering the light. Last time I talked about fill in flash. This time let's look at reflectors. You can make your own reflector with a bit of white card, with or without silver foil, but these were done with a LaserLite reflector. Nothing very clever, just have your lovely assistant (hello Eva) aim the reflector to light the subject:

Louis Dobson is a Gentleman Snapper, which means he works at photography pretty much full time, but can't be bothered to try and make money out of it. You can find his work at www.flickr.com/photos/acam and can contact him at louis@acam.co.uk if you want to buy any rights (yes, he does see the irony, but it isn't fair on people who have a living to make to give stuff away). He used to shoot mainly with Nikon full frame kit, but has now moved to Olympus Micro Four Thirds. He lives in South Portugal with his girlfriend, dogs and bikes.
