In my humble opini...I love reflectors - love them. In my humble opinion, you had better results with the side shots where the gold/warm light blends beautifully. I would have gone with a white to bounce the back-light - that way it would not be competing with the golden glow of the back-light. I would also be inclined to go with white because of Doug's glasses. The reflectiveness of gold/silver will add to the reflectiveness of his glasses. <br />Believe it or not, you can play with reflectors and non-human subjects as well - not saying Doug will bail on you - but in case all of a sudden he has to decline because Ruby is calling for his assistance, you have a back-up plan.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-2893655775705699842012-04-04T21:52:12.559-05:002012-04-04T21:52:12.559-05:00I'm really still learning how to use my reflec...I'm really still learning how to use my reflector but I love that it adds some dimension to his face. I like the warmth it adds as well. I bet that he could have held the reflector for you and just tilted it up on his face to bounce the light right onto his face.

I did shoot in raw, and in ACR changed the "as shot" color balance to "daylight," and then reduced the warmth a bit, but maybe I should have reduced it further?Angela2932https://www.blogger.com/profile/17740350969313163956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-38694176261876798902012-04-04T21:04:03.775-05:002012-04-04T21:04:03.775-05:00Good for you for trying something new! :) The refl...Good for you for trying something new! :) The reflector definitely added more light, especially to his eyes. Were you using a gold reflector? Both of the reflector images have a very warm tone, especially the second one.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045766795785666663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-44167116369049373162012-04-04T20:46:46.657-05:002012-04-04T20:46:46.657-05:00The reflector really made a difference.

I often use a small reflector in my macro work to direct the natural light to the darker parts of the flower.
