What have I been up to?

Well, I’m glad you asked. Last week I was in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I was hired to shoot photos of some commercial grade playground equipment. It was a long drive (about 8 hours), but we got some good photos. Since there was not power available for my lighting gear, I had to bring portable power. I usually use a battery based power system. However since I was shooting outdoors, I took the plunge and bought a generator.

I had to be very selective about the type of generator I bought, due to the power requirements of my lights. Because of the delicate electronics inside the lights, they need VERY clean AC power. Most generators produce noisy power that could fry my lights. The generator I settled on is the Honda EU2000i. It is light, quiet, and powerful. It produces about 2 kilowatts of power, which should be sufficient for my needs.

Yesterday I shot some senior pictures. Since most of what we shot was on location, I got a chance to use the generator again. We got some really cool shots at Franke Park. I’ll post a couple of photos when I go thru the proofs.
