This appears to be anopther case where mirrorless may be the best route. I would recommend one with an EVF since you will be shooting outdooors and the screen my prove inadequate.

Black reflectors

Capture48 wrote:

GOBO's are pretty common when I shoot outdoor portraits in the Phoenix sun. I have also used in studio to block light. GOBO, just means "Go Between" they can go between your subject and light source, or between your camera and a light source.

Edit: Don't ask me how "BO" means between. I'm not sure how we got there, but it does.

The GOBO has been around for centuries. It has been part of theatrical lighting since the early days. Some say the name partially derives from the character Launcelot Gobbo, a servant to Shylock in Merchant of Venice. LG was known for his shabby treatment of his blind father.

Then Lightroom. A couple years ago I might have said Elements, but LR is the way to start now. You might just jump up to LR and PS with the deal mentioned by Jerry. Play with LR and add PS as needed. Lightroom is around $140-$150 as a stand alone. That is over a year's worth of LR & PS together.

How is that pin hole camera working out? Surely you are not using any modern tech given your society!! Ned (all praise his name) would not want you using anything created after 1811! :wink:

Black reflectors

There seems to be confusion regarding what you mena my a black reflector. Clarification might help. A picture or a link. I don't think you are talking about a GOBO, which is used to create a pattern and is sometimes called a pie pan since you can make a GOBO from an old pan.

I think you are really talking about a reflector with at least one black side. They are used to subtract light, reduce bounced light and/or isolate of your subject.

Why not do 5 at 1 EV, then process all 5, then process #1,3 & 5 to see the difference.

It will be an interesting exercise, and if possible could be posted on the Hog for meaningful discussion.
