I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with my family I recently visited last weekend, and it was fun to be able to show them the technology of my camera, and equipment. I setup my flashes with my PocketWizards and was ready to go. Everyone, including my Mom was bedazzled by my wireless technology. It had become natural to me. I captured both my uncles indoors sitting in some old rustic desk chairs transformed into living room furniture. I recently found a new love for bounced flash on my umbrellas. I had always used my white umbrellas to shoot through, but recently I needed to try something new. I was bothered by how much wasted light occurred when using my light through the umbrella. Also, with the size of the room, which was very small and a little more than six feet tall, shoot through umbrellas would have wasted too much space and bounced too much light back into my lens.
The most interesting part about the whole photo shoot was showing them the photos even just a few hours after I had taken them on my laptop computer in my hotel room in full color. They were so confused, technology to them is a mystery. It doesn't make sense.
I am probably going to have to mess with most of the photos after looking at them on my desktop monitor. Then again, my desktop monitor is nearing its retirement and replacement. For some odd reason, the colors on my laptop are way more vivid and saturated than majority of screens and especially prints. I should really invest in a monitor calibrator thingy as well as a new monitor. I should try to get both my screens as accurate as possible! Any suggestions on brands?
