By: Anon By setting correct exposure & white balance when you do your shooting it can dramatically reduce the time needed to adjust your images in Photoshop afterwards, therefore increasing productivity & providing a more predictable result. I found in the early days of ownership of my Canon D30 that a lot of my shooting was sometimes described as �estimated best guess when it came to exposure & white balance. Sometimes I wasn't quite confident that I had got the shot quite right, so I would take a lot of extra exposures, bracketing the exposure just to be sure.
Unfortunately in some cases it meant that I would spend hours in Photoshop fine tuning images to get a result exactly the way I wanted them to appear.

If your kit is lightweight and well planned, if it's reliable and quick to assemble then you can light as much of your work as you want to. I tend to specialize in editorial portraiture, so that is the area of work that I'm going to talk about. When I was writing these pages my basic kit was one Lumedyne 200 joule pack, one Signature head, two regular batteries, one stand, an umbrella, a Chimera softbox and a Pocket Wizard kit - all in one sling bag. Since May 2009 that all changed and the Lumedyne kit was replaced by an Elinchrom Ranger Quadra system. I still like the Lumedynes but the Elinchrom is a few percentage points better!
