I got lights: LimoStudio 6500K Day Light 400 Watt Photography 33″ Silver Reflector Umbrella Continuous Photo Lighting Kit, AGG287.

As soon as I got the lights  I set only one up and took pix of Larry. Update: In trying to figure out how to insert a gallery as I have exceeded my storage on WordPress..I deleted the photo pf the Larry.

Here’s a pic of myself.  I did forget to set the white balance on my camera and no editing, so these are shot on auto and they are straight out of camera. Yeah, just one light at night with the blinds closed. Pretty nifty huh? Looks like daylight to me.

Here is what one of the light units look like. It is not fully extended.

This light kit seems great for what I need it for now. They are in no way rickety, but I do feel that the stands could not withstand continuous rugged travel. I have a third stand exactly like the light stands and I got it to hold a boom for my reflectors. The stands must be weighted outside. A light breeze will take them down if they are not weighted. I think they will last longer if they are mostly used in a stationary setting.  I am learning to use new equipment and it is pretty fun as well as frustrating.

I also purchased reflectors. I tested one when it was still light outside and it was very helpful. The rectangular five in one is alright. The round reflector gold side throws sunlight really well. I do not have a photo of that yet.

I still do not quite have the hang of my light meter.

I have bad shooting habits.  I forget that I can meter and adjust controls on my camera because I have been shooting in auto for so long. I still feel like “when in doubt shoot in auto”.

I am relearning how to use my Nikon D3000. I am realizing now that I want to upgrade when I can afford it. I would like to buy a Nikkor lens with a wider aperture. With a wider aperture one can shoot in low light with a higher shutter speed.   Mine only goes to f 3.5.

There is so much to know and so much to do.
