Photography Freebies

photography lighting question?
I’ve been asked to do a favor (a freebie for friends) for a classic car club. They want me to do a photo shoot of their cars with models, I might even do it as a hobbie. I have a descent eye for lighting from directing motion pictures (never Cam Operator) but I hire crew to deal with all that. I have a cannon rebel xl. Just need some lighting pointers for vehicle+model lighting set-up (easy set-up nothing fancy) if anybody can offer since I’m doing everything/set-up for this shoot (with limited equipment). Indoor and outdoor tips would be great. Thanks in advance.
It’s a hard call to give you specific lighting advice, especially as a car and a model are involved. I think the best way is to take a look at this free photo tutorials site for lighting and exposure tips – and at a link I’ll give you in a second to a recent YA answer regarding how lights work and how you control softness and tonality on your image:

- YA explanation
I think you’re very smart to keep it simple – you are far more likely to get a good result. And I would also agree that bouncing flash and diffusers will help. To this I would suggest you add reflectors to your list as they are easy to use. The other issue will be flash fall off – implying a distance between your flash and the subject required to get even lighting (the further the more even your light will be) – BUT this also implies a requirement for power! (If you are closer to your subject you will have a greater difference between the relative distance of the front of the car versus the back of the car – the further away you are the less this proportional difference in lighting.)
I’d shoot on RAW in this instance as it will give you more latitude in post processing your images.
Good luck!!

Freebies and Brown Envelopes $111.53 African journalism is facing challenges in becoming voice of the voiceless. Senior African journalism professionals note that the cancer of African journalism is Brown Envelopes or other forms of illpractices like freebies, junkets, checkbook journalism, etc. Incentivedriven journalism is actually budding in Ethiopia; even having diverse names for the bribes the journalists take buche, lubricant. Even some officials encourage the situation and journalists fight with each other to be assigned to places with buche. Private medical colleges and NGOs are considered melting pot of bribery. Unless they pay, their news and programs are likely to be killed. The reason behind accepting bribes goes beyond simple media corruption low salary, rare or no trainings in journalism, pressures from sources, etc. Those journalists who do not accept buche are alienated and may be made outcast from the group. Openly sharing information about bribery among journalists is not considered unethical. How far such practice does take us?
