I just wanted to ask for some advuice on outdoor photography, i have been asked by a friend to take some pictures of her for herr fella who is going to afgan in a month.

I was thinking about takin her into some woods near my house, what do you think??

I havnt really done much outdoor photography but just wanted to do some simple stuff for her. Do u think i should buy some reflectors to use or just leave it.

Cheers guys and gals :thumbs:
 
What about a shoot around town, their local haunts and stuff, although that could include the woods :p

Reflectors can make a big difference but you don't need to buy them for this shoot, a large piece of white card with tin foil on one side stuck with pritt stick will work great and produce the same results.

If you like the results buy a good set of 5 in 1's, if not, you have only wasted 50p.
 
take an umbrella

a white one...and then it will double as a reflector
 
I did a shoot in some woods recently, and even though it was very sunny it was quite dark due to the cover of the trees. I would highly recommend some off camera lighting if you have it available.
 
Thse reflectors are good if you have good(ish) sunlight, add a nice quality to the light, especially the gold surface...well worth the £15 :)
 
you could get a grey card...that will help you white balance and meter

fill flash might be handy in the woods unless you want that spooky look
 
I dont have any off camera lighting all i have is the SB-600 on the camera..DizMatt what do u mean by a gray card??

in case it rains...and if it doesnt you can use it to reflect light onto some lovely little mushrooms in the shade of the old oak tree

i am a bit lost as well...thanks for the wake up call:cool:
