After making this video I realized I shot all of this with my camera white balance set to 3400K. The 5500 K lights appear blue because of the color temperature setting of the camera.
Personal preference. My vision adjusts to the safelight illumination, I don’t like having my eyes go back and forth to a lot of general room light. I also find it harder to judge a print if the whole room is lit up. Your preferences may differ.
Hi there my fellow naked photographer. I would love to see you talk about your preferences in metering a complex landscape scene. As an example, what would you do if there are two or more sources of reflected light? What zone would you put your highlights and heavy contrasts to get the "best results" on the negative? I've always followed the way of simplicity, especially in my portrait work. Only recently been trying to do landscape with more details and subtleties after many years in the field, and it seems like I'm always missing by half a stop to one (because bracketing doesn't exists in my world). Getting new input would be nice from a hardened and experienced worker. It seems, and therefore I presume your followers are peeking above "the average photographer" in knowledge. Because of this talking about the basics of the Zone System seems a bit irrelevant, and if they are unaware there are literally hundreds of videos talking about the subject of Adams and Archer's ideas. Would also maybe serve you well as your channel seems to be more of a niche for the old-timers. Thanks in advance
It is my plan to do a 4 part series on exposure, and a 3-4 part series on the Zone System. I don’t know when I may be able to finish them, but they are definitely subjects worth covering.
@@TheNakedPhotographer Do it at your own pace. Quality over quantity everyday. And thank you for bringing great content. You've made at least one dusty darkroom clean again.
Lux is the measurement of light falling on an object, lumens is a measurement of the total amount of light emitted from a bulb. Yes, specs are confusing.
It is maddening how prints which look good under houselights, look terrible come daylight. I don't think mechanically printed photos are subject to the same changes.
Love you man
Great hack! Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback, but this does not qualify as a “hack” since I did not use a glue gun at any point.
I see the center spot light warmer than edges of spot light that look clearly blue.

Why is there a need to control spill with these lights? What’s wrong with illuminating a larger area than just the print?

Is there a good light bulb for editing ? Should it be 5009k?
Good vid!
Thanks, Randy!
Lux and lumens are the same ? it's not easy to find a bulb with the correct specs. Manufacturers specs are confusing.
