[EN] The LEDs have arrived. And now I’ve got this little dilemma. I don’t take photos for this blog. I don’t plan my shots thinking about what I’ll write, what the post will be about, or what kind of photos I’ll need. I just have this habit of photographing every day. I take pictures, and later I write something to go with a few of them.

But sometimes I catch myself writing about something specific that I don’t actually have photos of. Like now — I didn’t take any shots of the lights themselves. Do you think I should change that? Or do you honestly not care?

As for the LEDs — 60 W is a bit underwhelming. I knew I was buying something weaker, but in practice it feels a bit different. The idea was to start with two small lights and later expand the setup with two stronger ones — say, 200 and 300 W. But never mind the power. What disappointed me most was the stand mount on the adapter — it can’t hold a 60x90 softbox, and the light just droops under the weight. Didn’t see that coming.

Overall, though, the lights are small and neat. The color rendering is good. The set came with a mini reflector — though it’s more like a spotlight, narrow and focused. You can almost get a proper spotlight effect. I’ll have some fun experimenting. It’s just that this adapter means I can’t use my current modifiers anymore. Bit of a bummer. But hey — at least now I’ve got something to save up for.

[PL] Przyszły LED-y. I tu mam taką rozkminę. Ja nie robię zdjęć pod kątem tego bloga. Nie mam tak, że zastanawiam się, co napiszę, o czym będzie post i jakich zdjęć będę potrzebował. Mam po prostu nawyk codziennego fotografowania. Robię zdjęcia, a potem coś tam piszę pod kilkoma wybranymi.

Ale czasami łapię się na tym, że piszę o czymś konkretnym, czego nie mam na zdjęciach. Tak jak teraz - nie zrobiłem zdjęć samych lampek. Myślicie, że powinienem się poprawić? Czy macie to gdzieś?

Co do samych LED-ów - 60 W to jednak mało. Wiedziałem, że kupuję coś słabszego, ale w praktyce wygląda to trochę inaczej. Zamysł był taki, by kupić dwa małe i z czasem rozszerzyć zestaw o dwa mocniejsze światła, powiedzmy 200 i 300 W. No ale mniejsza o moc. Rozczarował mnie sam uchwyt statywowy w adapterze — nie jest w stanie utrzymać softboxa 60x90 i lampa opada pod jego ciężarem. Nie przewidziałem takiej opcji.

Generalnie jednak lampki są małe i zgrabne. Światło dobrze odwzorowuje kolory. W zestawie jest mini strumienica, choć bardziej przypomina reflektor - wąski, skupiony. Można zrobić taki prawie że spotlight. Będę się bawić. Tylko ten adapter pozbawił mnie możliwości używania obecnych modyfikatorów. Trochę lipa. No ale co? Mam na co zbierać.

[EN] The shoot had a simple concept. You stand, you click, you catch expressions, micro-expressions, variations. And then you come back with 500 photos that, in the end, all look kind of similar. So how do you pick that one best shot? Maybe a triptych? The top three? In the end, it turns into fifty, because you just can’t decide. And then you flood social media with almost the same thing. Guilty as charged.

[PL] Sesja miała prosty koncept. Stoisz, cykasz, łapiesz miny, mikroekspresje, warianty. A potem wracasz z 500 zdjęciami, które mimo wszystko są do siebie podobne. I jak tu wybrać to jedno najlepsze? Może tryptyk? Trzy najlepsze? Ostatecznie kończy się na pięćdziesięciu, bo nie umiesz się zdecydować. I wtedy zalewasz media niemal tym samym. Jestem winny.

#Repost @canonusa with @make_repost ・・・ #BehindTheShot with #CanonExplorerOfLight : "Since the beginning of my career, I have always been far more interested in the behind the scenes of a photo, than on the actual finished product. Why? Because the BTS reveals the puzzle that the photographer had to solve to create a photograph. In this case, I photographed a fellow photographer named Lana Polic in Rijeka, a city in Croatia. This city is filled with abandoned buildings completely open to the public. We were working on a heavily overcast day, with not much light coming down from the sky. Considering Lana’s black hair and black clothes, I immediately made two lighting judgement calls. 1: The light coming from above will be used to illuminate her face with her chin up. 2: Lana’s hair and black clothes will need a boost, so I used an LED light panel to reveal detail from all the blacks. This is a crucial step for a great print. The graffiti-filled walls in the background added the perfect complement to the 'Rocker' style and feel I wanted for this portrait of the great photographer Lana Polic. Always a fun challenge to photograph fellow photographers and create something special for them." 📸 #Canon EOS R5 Lens: RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Model: https://www.instagram.com/p/COWqTR4lNlq/?igshid=10t91zdfa6uxo

𝔹𝕖𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕔𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕤: A true example of “𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆”. the morning of this shoot ranks pretty high up there as one of the most miserable moments of my life. My photoshoot in Tulum was supposed to take place at 9 am. Unfortunately my photographer was a half an hour late, which left me waiting in the sun and the 80+, 100% humidity heat. By the time she arrived, my makeup had practically melted off, my styled hair was no longer curly, and my hair was stuck to my neck from sweat. I think I got a mild case of heat stroke, and know of course now that I was pregnant (unknowingly at the time), which I’m sure didn’t help matters, as I was emotional, frustrated, and pissed off that I was paying someone to take photos of me at a time when I felt the MOST unattractive. By the time this photo was taken, I had nearly given up—thus the top knot hairstyle, which was strictly in an effort to get my hair off my neck and cool off a bit. To make matters worse, my phone didn’t have cell service, and I was unable to contact my friends and travel companions to let them know I was going to be late, which resulted in one of the worst fights I’ve ever had while traveling with someone. 😢 So you see, IG is certainly not real life. Behind that smile is not always sunshine and rainbows. Just remember that when your IG feed is flooded with beautiful smiling girls—24/7–and you make the mistake of comparing those smiles to what’s going on in your own life. It’s not real (a lot of the time), so cut yourself a break. 💛 📍Raw Love, Tulum, Mexico #IGisnotreallife #instagramisnotreallife #bts #behindthescenes #behindtheshot #wherecanamericanstravelnow #travelnow #tulum #mexico #tulummexico #mayanriviera #rivieramaya #travelgram #traveldiaries #travelaway #sidewalkerdaily #bloggerlife #travelblog (at Raw Love Tulum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrgHskBbnQ/?igshid=1q050kmdgc05
