HALCO SLIDOG 150 SILVER SHADOW H91

Large flat surfaces like found on the new Halco Slidog 150 Silver Shadow present different challenges in regards to reflection from camera/lens. What does this mean? Well the majority of lure images I see from many companies have a shadow or black line throughout the middle of the lure, that’s refection form the surrounds, camera etc Getting it right is where I still rely knowledge of light direction and  on my old Sekonic L508 Light Meter, over twenty years old now and still producing the results, it still amazes me that so many photographers that have only used digital don’t know what one is or how to use it. Relying on test shots is just a waste of time, a few test flashes with a light meter saves a huge amount of time and gives you perfect results.
