Re: Canon EOS 10D & Home studio setup

[Lea Murphy <lea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Connie,

Gather your gang and put them near as possible to the largest north-facing window you can find. Put a backdrop behind yourselves, put a big white reflector opposite the window to fill in shadows and you'll be good to go.

Remember this: you can NEVER go wrong with north light. Never, ever, ever. It is always beautiful because it is always diffuse and never direct. 

Work with one child at a time to get the feel and you'll see what I mean.

Good luck and have fun. Enjoy that 10D...it's a beauty.

If anyone is interested in giving me some suggestions:

 

I purchased a Canon EOS 10D and want to set up a home studio to take our family photos (6 of us) and individual shots of the kids.

I am a novis.  Specifically, I am looking for a floor plan for setting up studio and specific lighting, backdrop, props, seating.

 

I have looked into classes at the community college and am disappointed to see nothing like that is available.  Can you make any suggestions, give me any websites to visit for this, etc.

 

Thanks in advance.
