when i use my reflector, i got problems with all colors.
black is almost to yellow. its good for black people in shadow.
Silver does a too hard light, so i uses this only in shadow or bad weather.
but white makes me sick. it doesnt do anythink in most of my outdoor shots, even if im close as possible to the subject and try to give a fill light from the sun :/ i do not know what i am doing wrong

Respond to this video... in your video how do you determine to use external flash or not to ?

Fabulous!
Thanks for posting,
The Crotch Bounce will make history.
Also, what side of the reflector is best? Gold, silver or the white? In which situations would I use which?

I almost never use gold. White is best for fill using the sun. I find silver or the gold/silver "zebra" side is best and most efficient for bouncing flash.

Awesome and inspiring. I have been wanting to try the flash bouncing outdoors, and your video has given me some ideas. I have a question about the light metering...How do I measure for two lights? In the studio, you get your ratio and then get the measurement of both lights combined and that is what you set your camera to. How does this apply to being outside where you have to measure ambient light as well?

Thanks! It's pretty much the exact same as in the studio, only you first set the ambient exposure then adjust the flashes to fit with the ambient. I go into great detail in my blog, just search for bouncing light video!

AWESOME !
Did you made a casting call for the model ? what about the makeup ? and how did you change the wardrobe on location ? Did you pay the model or exchange prints? What camera are you using, is buying a old 5D better than a new 550D ?
Sorry I am bombing you with questions but I feel that you are the right guy to ask !
YOU HAVE AMAZING WORK considering the limited equipment you use !
