i am trying to do as much as i can with as little equipment as possible, including lugging around a tri-pod, or even mono-pod.....so focusing on off-hand as much as possible....one maybe two lenses, bat powered ring light, bat powered speed light, mini stand, mini soft box and umbrella..wireless trigger.......filters, a few gels.....my bag is just about full, but i have a little more space in there yet, but def need to keep it to one carry on bag....prolly one more speedlight.....as far as reflection, it is easy to find and assistant on location to hold up reflectors like a piece of poster board, or even white pillow case etc. or holding a speed light..........using natural lighting (sun) and clouds (soft box) as much as possible.....i think cloudy day shots are the best for buds anyways, and always look for light pouring through a window.....almost set on getting a 70-200mm for my second lens, because i like the ability to shoot (over) plants to the back-side buds, and the compression (blowing out the background) can be really important for remote shots where you can't control the background (esp. plants that are in the ground).

Just something to better your craft for 2013 I have turned off the AF mode on my cam so what you see is what I want you to see

Try it out it's fun

cool....another good one is turning off the LCD and working your cam like a film cam, getting your settings right through your eyes and brain, and limiting your shots like a roll of film......Fro style.

Finally found Lightroom....and i love it......

able to adjust this pic exactly how i want it....

 

[nugbuckets]

ooooh this is fun....

imo Lightroom is ESSENTIAL for any serious photographer. Just being able to organize the huge volume of digital images and tag everything is priceless, and the tools don't suck either, they fucking rock.

Nugs.. look into tethering your DSLR to your computer through lightroom so you can make instant, fine adjustments. Seriously dope technology

It IS poisonous! Ive burnt one like it and the fumes are quite potent.

Beautiful shot, TC

I've got Lightroom but I use Bridge for cataloging and it makes it real easy to hop into Camera Raw which is the best bare bones editor I've used (probably just more comfort with it).

Here's a pic of my lone JB girl (10 days into flower) I ran from 3 or 4 year old beans I had in a moving box, she's a stretcher!

Just a few shots from one of my favorite strains SilverKush. Nice 50/50 hyrbrid and does well topped and trained early. 50/60 days.

 

[nugbuckets]

^^^nice strain, looks like it has some mildew though huh?

 

[MichiganGrows]

Yea had some issues with it the last grow (These Pics) and im planning on running 3 cuts of it again. My 2.2 lbs of horsetail came in today so I will be treating them with that and hopefully preventing it from happening again. this is one of my favorite strains and im trying to hang onto it and eliminate the problem with Pm. Its only showed twards the end of flower on the last grow and did not get outta control but obviously not I cant have that. no signs of it so far on the new vegging cuts but that doesn't mean it wont show up again.
