Let There Be Light – How I Light my Vlog – New Equipment Haul

Lightng
Photo-A-Day #4337

It was well past time for me to get some more professional lighting in my office so that I can make better looking video. I picked up the LimoStudio 600W Photography Triple Photo Umbrella Lighting Kit, Video, Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit, CFL Photo Bulbs, Black/Silver & White Umbrella Reflector, Light Stand, Carrying Case, AGG2263 from Amazon.com through one of my favorite podcaster’s Amazon.com affiliate link.

I’m just learning how to do all of this and so the process will be a bit slow, I’ll make mistakes and will, hopefully, learn from them. I’ll certainly pass along what I’ve learned to you!

Groot and the Loot


Photo-A-Day #3578

Playing more with my new 85mm lens for the NX1. I didn’t get to take any snow pictures today but when I got to work I put my special edition Funko Pop Groot figure that glows in the dark on top of my new Loot Crate box. I am still really enjoying the sharpness of that 85mm lens. The Groot figure is also pretty photogenic. In the background I have a Skylanders Tree Rex figure and then some Skylanders candy and a water color done by David “Mex” Hernandez of me as a a little kid along with Little Schmidtty, comedian Mike Schmidt. But all that stuff is sufficiently blurred because the depth of field on this lens is sick.
