Every now and then, I am pressed into service at work to do a tabletop shoot. It's good practice for me and a nice change of pace.
This week, since I was hauling my slumbering camera gear to Maryland, I volunteered to shoot this new piece of equipment for my employer. Simple enough. Done it dozens of times... at home, with all my gear close at hand.
For this trip, I grabbed an umbrella, a hot-shoe bracket and an assortment of other stuff. What didn't I grab? A light stand. One freaking light stand. Did I think I was going to hold that flash/umbrella/bracket assembly in my teeth? Good grief!
So, I had to serve as a human light stand and a hand model and the photographer, all at once.
The lesson here? Engage brain, pack gear. Think. Think. Think.
