We have all done it- you know, see a cool picture, want to know how it is done, learn that the photographer used x equipment and 20 minutes later, it's on its way! :) lol! Ok, maybe you haven't done it, but you've thought about it, right? :) Well, I am guilty! I LOVE gadgets! One cardinal rule of photography is to know your equipment BEFORE you shoot! Practice with it! Learn it inside and out! Guaranteed if it can go wrong, IT WILL :)
On this particular shoot, I had bought a piece of equipment and I thought it was a straight forward piece- well, it was straight forward plunging it in, but since I didn't practice before hand, I couldn't figure out how to control the power! Yikes! I had to move Jason about 30 feet away to get this shot! Yes it worked out, but having to use a megaphone :) to communicate with lighting probably didn't look the MOST professional :) Lesson learned!
Be prepared and you will be fine! And remember you can do a lot with a little!
