Reflector :D. We just moved into our new house (yay!), in our old one I didnt really have space to try and use it. Now we have an extra bedroom that Ive claimed as my studio xD Hopefully I can get the hang of this thing, so far I love the white (its a 5-in-1). Nothing too serious here, and first time using photobucket in a long time so I hope it doesnt mess up the quality:

1.


2. Looks kind of green on here :(


3.


4. The kids did not like the warming reflector, all I got were annoyed squints xD Not quite sure how to use that one on people.


5. I liked the warm softness it gave to this stuffed animal though.


6. Ive been wanting to do an image like this forever.


7.



So does anyone know how to properly utilize a warming reflector? I like what it did for the stuffed animal, but it sucked on the kids. I have a newborn shoot coming up soon and Id love to be able to use it.

I really like first picture! The others not so much...

Its just supposed to make your subject warmer..but it goes way overboard, imo. Thats why I have no idea how it could be used o_o

Unless maybe its for situations where youre using insanely cool lighting.

I like #6 that looks neat! The second one is cool too, I never even noticed the green until you said something, it couldn't be edited out somehow? I also like the colors the warming one has, but I am not sure how to give you advice on that one. :)

Thanks! ^^

Yeah I can fix it, sometimes I just dont see when I do crappy pp until I post on here xD

At least I can just reduce the temperature in photoshop to make it normal..just dont get what it could be used for, you know?

Why 4, lol? Hes all squinty, I thought that one was pretty bad :lol: Just showing how annoying the warming reflector was for him.

This was what I got, its a 5-in-1, you just unzip to get to each one. I got it for 11 bucks on eebay :D.
