Well, a collapsable reflector is a nice item. Its for indoors and out and you can use it to take a nice photo of your mom.

Maybe she was implying that you take a photo of your mother as a sort of thanks for buying you presents... it will also allow you a way to show her you are serious about photography.

Or maybe she was making fun of you, you never know :er::er:

No. Not at all. My daughters appreciate everything I do for them and if they were shutterbugs and I contributed to the enhancement of their passions, they would reward me with an example of their work since in our family we operate as support for one anothers efforts and achievements and they happen to support what I like to do.

I reward them with studio photos they can share and post to FB since I am the photo taker.

YMMV.

Oh haha, than im sorry, im used to people on forums being sarcastic and mean when i ask questions, sorry xD
Now, the question that is probably going to make you want to kill me..
What exactly is a reflector? I mean i understand it reflects something, but what for light?

 

[GeorgieGirl]

Ok then. A reflector is a nice tool to use to take portrait photos. It is used to reflect light on a subject and eliminate shadows that are not flattering. Its not expensive and can be used along with your pop-up flash to add fill light. Its a standard for photographers and if you google it you will find all sorts of youtubes and details on how to use it in your photography. If you decide on pursuing portraits I'll bet you have a bunch of friends who would like to be your subject. Good luck with your photography and have a Merry Christmas.

Now, i have a question
Will the 50-250mm be used all the time once i get it?
Or will i be better off using the 18-55mm for certain things and the 50-250mm for others?
Thanks
Anthony
