My heart will need some adjustments.
he is leaving.
not because of me
no, not me.
We're perfect..
well, he is
It is love
a love beyond reason
I wish you understood
you never ever will
it's okay
it'll be your ache
that keeps you awake
once I'm gone
Test shoot using my newly acquired Light Blaster (light-blaster.com) which allows you to project your own backdrop images. Since I also have a big photoshoot coming up for a local hair salon I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and get some salon test shots as well.
The Light Blaster performed well overall but it definitely has strengths and weaknesses. I just used an old 18-55mm Canon kit lens, I found I needed to use a lot of power. If I used a faster lens (ie wider aperture) it should require a bit less light. A big issue is that you really need to limit spill from your key light or else it will completely wash out the projected background. I was shooting in a small space so this didn't help that fact, if I had more room the key light would have fallen off quicker too.
