My big reflector

I'm doing some HD work this weekend, and some of it is going to be outdoors. I used to fear outdoor shooting because of lighting issues, but these days I know a little better. I bought a big ass reflector. I opted for one with white on one side and silver on the other side. No idea how each will work, but I'm going to do some experimentation tonight to see.

At this rate, I may never pay off my camera, but on the other hand, I have a growing collection of gear and feel like I can shoot anything if I have the opportunity. This is all stuff I'll need for my film too.

How does your giant silver saucer work?

You just bounce the light from the sun (or other light sources) on to whatever your subject is. So for example, you put the sun behind your subject, off to the side, and put the reflector in front of them.
