While your review of this light was great and did touch upon alot of the things I’d like to see, it would be really cool if you did a more generalized video covering the basics of studio lighting like this, particularly when it comes to using vintage cameras. This stuff is like black magic to me! I comprehend very little of it and I wish I knew how to set things up and control lighting to my exact specifications. I’d love to know how it was done back in the ancient times. Occasionally I’ll try to learn a bit about the process but a lot of these videos are reliant on digital cameras and just tell you to check how your shots look on the LCD. Not particularly helpful for someone shooting with a Mamiya! You’re the right man to show us exactly how it’s done.
Sure Rom. Without the digital camera I would have taken an incident reading on the model pointing it back to the camera. Another reflective reading on the background making sure it was 1 or 2 stops over the models reading (by adjusting the light power). In a nut shell anyway. I do have a video where I went through all this (not specific to it's title) I'll see if I can find it
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss appreciate the tips! One of these days I’ll see if I can get a cheap/used strobe to play with and some radio triggers… will seek out that other video of yours in the meantime :)
Hey, you're very funny. I'm watching your older videos. I'm not one of those snobs who just sniffs the emultion and shits out the answer omg funniest shit I've ever heard. I think il steal that little gem .thx for making videos. You have a friend here in canada 🇨🇦
Im after somthing like this for my car photograghy in poorly lit dark workshops. Also do you think if you set them correctly on a red setting they could double up as a darkroom light?
Darkroom red is a specific color temperature, plus it needs to not be too bright. So it might work, but you're better off with purpose-built safelights.
As Scot said... But... Yes you can, however you'll need to do strip tests to find the sweet spot. I use similar lights in my darkroom and I had to test them first. As long as I keep the brightness at 30% they work fine and no fogging. And not directed at the enlarger. They point down toward the wash area which also slowly illuminates the enlarger area.
I have interfit lights. I always loved using continuous lights in college instead of fkash as you know what you're getting but the old ones could get hot, but the newer ones are much better
Definitely want something like this, but I'm not really dedicated enough to studio setups to spend the money - and this is the cheap one! Definitely easier than my speedlite setup.
1:44 you can see the crazy look in his eye when he says "I like film" cheers!
Yeah, saw that. I almost could see a trickle of drool too ...
