Getting Ready to Shoot

Tomorrow, I am shooting my "Editorial Portrait" at lunch.  I am glad I stopped by yesterday WITH my camera and equipment.  I took some test shots and was a bit nervous.  Here are some things that did not work or I forgot.
  • Wireless transmitters were not working on light stand.  These are new.  Turns out that it was an issue with the setting on my SB-600's.  Went home and got both speedlights working with the two transmitters.   They are ready to go.
  • Forgot 18% Gray Card.  Now that I learned how to use it effectively, I was disappointed with myself.  Taking it tomorrow for sure.
  • Did not have my reflectors or my black foam board.  What was I thinking?  Answer...I wasn't.  Definitely will need these for final shoot tomorrow if I am going to take the best advantage of my light. 
  • My softbox has shipped.  I am hoping it arrives before tomorrow's shoot!
  • Had my 70-200 with me, just wasn't happy with the results.  Going to use a more wide angle tomorrow.
  • Thinking I might like taking this from a ladder looking down on subject. 
Think I just typed my "to do" list for tomorrow!
