DIY gels

I thought it would be cool to write up a DIY article for all those who love to save money and have free time to kill =) Anyone who doesn't own a gel might find this a bit helpful. If you don't want to waste your $20+ for a Honl gel here's what you can do.

1. Go to your local Staples

2. Print out a full page with one color. ex: Red

3. Make sure it's printed out on those overhead transparencies.

** DO NOT EVEN BOTHER BUYING THOSE TRANSPARENT FOLDERS/BINDER/WHATEVERS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK NOR HELP IN ANY WAY **

4. Pay for it... I bought 5 sheets and cost me roughly $10 (it might be cheaper around your area)

5. Try them out.

So you save more than $10... I should say about $60+ if you're using a couple Speedlites. Each sheet can be cut up to about 4 pieces or so to use for your Speedlites. I actually use them on my AB800.

I think it's a pretty good DIY project and worth a trip. Definitely saves you ALOT of money.

Finally received my battery grip in the mail today. Funny thing is that I never found out that the package was delivered until 10:45 at night. I came home today and saw a small box but never minded it. I actually said to myself "...imagine that's my grip?" then chuckled. Little did I know... right?

Anyway I'm just ecstatic that I have a new toy. An upgrade looks so far away from now =/ but OH WELL... who needs a 7D or a 5DMKII.. am I right? -______-

wooohooo

Madeline

Just finished a session with my old friend from South Jersey.. This one took some time but it was never a dull moment. For an hour and a half drive it better have been worth it for her... and I think it's safe to say that she LOVES all the pictures.

I thought the picture would look good in B&W so I played around with it on photoshop.

I'm no photoshop user but...

my Project Frame came out pretty ok huh?
=)

I had a session with my cousin today. I was ecstatic when she contacted me and said she wanted to have her pictures up-to-date. So after 4 outfits, a dirty umbrella, a $42 Ikea chair from the As-Is section, broken red glasses, a hammer, and a random fire extinguisher later (not shown)... this is what we got. More pictures HERE!

BONUS PICTURES!!

HAHA!

Studio

I finished cleaning out my friend Noele's garage and fixed it up to be used as my photo studio. It took about a week but it was all worth it. Here's my first few photos in my awesome new studio.
