    I love the fact that, at least to me, the DIY setup seemed a lot easier to work around.
    While it likely takes a lot longer to setup/modify, the DIY lights look a lot less bulky.

    When you're starting out, you actually need to use DIY stuff for lighting, scene setup, etc. because it will train you mentally to always be in problem-solving gear, it also makes you quite resourceful. Those two attributes will be key to make your life easier as a professional.

Just a question (not necessarily lighting related) - I hv an EOS RP w/ 25-105 USM - an I cannot take a good photo of any sunset. Somehow the foreground gets either too bright and then a sunset becomes daylight - or I get the sunset but the foreground is too dark. 😊

    Incandescent light bulbs ARE quickly becoming a specialty item in the EU. Every bulb in the near future will be LED.
    Any thoughts on easy/cheap led lighting setups for videography? How do you avoid strobing/blinking?

    • @stephen1r2
      @stephen1r2 Год назад +1

      Unless you look for video light specific LEDs you will need to experiment. It depends on the LEDs construction, some will show the 60(or 50)HZ line flicker and some will use switch mode power supplies of sufficiently high frequency to seem continuous. Sometimes you will have better results with high quality dimmable bulbs
