Pre ordered my Lumu

I posted a blog about the Lumu light meter for photographers that is used on your iPhone and been waiting for them to launch the product. They have preorder now and can't wait to get mine to review on my blog. Always needing a way to detect lighting and this is a great invention and idea. Hope it is as good as it sounds:). Little early birthday present. Loving the 50mm lens and contemplating my next lens along with a flash. Can never have enough equipment. Getting ready to order some lights. Found some great stuff on eBay and Craigslist for backdrops and lighting for my studio/office I'm transforming. Don't want summer to end but looking forward to having the days to set up and work. Applied for a couple photography assistant, and photographer positions so fingers crossed I get a job so I can get more hands on training and learning:). Will update when I get word on jobs. One looks really promising working for a huge company that takes sports photos for schools, optimist clubs and more. Have a great night and let me know if anyone has gotten there Lumu or used one yet:).

Lumu light meter for IPhone

I have been into photography for awhile, even before I had kids I always use to play with cameras. I got my first nice camera at 18 and ended up selling it to a friend when I got married. Back then it was cool to have a camcorder and when I was pregnant we got a nice video camera and camera for the birth.

By the time I had my second daughter my camera and camcorder were like antiques lol, so I sold them and got a digital camera. I loved my old digital camera but one day at the beach I got some sand in the lens are and it got stuck:(. My hubby went out and got my a new one but 3 days later my purse was stolen from my car and of course the camera was inside:(. My mom went out and got my an inexpensive one for a gift since we were going on vacation and I had been so excited to use the one hubby got me that was stolen.

One day when I was at a pawn shop looking at guns with hubby I got a canon camera and it turned out to w the start of my love of photography all over. I would snap pictures of everything. For Christmas I got a new dslr and have been addicted to taking photos of everything from my kids, car, home, beach, etc. My camera goes everywhere with me.

I have been big into checking out cool gadgets and editing programs, new lenses and what ever else. I have a friend who does wedding photography and then I met a lady who does pin up photography and did some photos for my hubby of me for valentines day a couple years ago, so I ask them a lot about new products. One thing I have struggled with is lighting. I took a class to learn the basics of my camera, then editing. But anyone who has a camera knows it takes a lot more then owning a camera to web a good photographer. Anyone with money can buy an expensive camera and all the equipment but really it takes a creative person to be a excellent photographer.

I love to take creative shots and to do things a little cutting edge or different then what you always see. I have been working hard to get my style down. In the mean time I have purchased a great zoom lens and lots of different gadgets but saw this amazing new product for the iPhone, let me tell you this is super creative and funny cause I told my hubby they need an app or gadget for the phone to measure lighting. Lumu is the name and let me tell you when they release this I alkbg with others will be lined up to get one. I love how my camera has wireless adapter to instantly upload my photos to my phone, laptop, iPad, computer an even transport them to my printer. I always use my phone as a remote to take photos when I am in them or away from the tripod/camera. It is an amazing feature:). Technology is a great thing. I will have more to come about this project. You can like then on Facebook for updates on the product. Below are some photos I found on their web page and when I get on my laptop I will post links to their web page and FB pages. Definitely if you love photography and are looking for a light meter check this one out.

I will review it when it does come out because I will be saving for one of these bad boys this summer anxiously awaiting its release:). Happy snapping.
