I love these shots. I really love the B/W tho. To prevent the shadow in the afternoon sun I wonder what a person could use for a reflector if they cant afford to buy one. would like to hear suggestions.

for a cheap DIY reflector you can use:
* White Foam Core Board
* White Bed Sheet
* White Shirt
* Silver Sun Shade for Car Windows

I'm sure others have ideas as well.

I often use white cardboard... or even a piece of aluminium foil from my kitchen drawer on any kind of surfaces. The fun with aluminium is that you can wrinkled it and it changed the illumination factor... Try it! It is cheap and it is working!
