Continuous LED lights are terrible for photography.This is an approximate $2400 600watt continuous LED light.At a distance of 2 meters, it can manage 1/60 iso400 f8 at full power.That converts to f4.8 iso400 1/200 if you wanted to get up to a barely usable photography shutter speed.And if you want to go down to iso 100, you are now around f2.8So $2500 gets you something barely usable on your lowest settings at approx 2 meters, any further distance and it wont work.And if you want to use any modifier at all its all over and you wont even be able to have enough light for a photo.In before just shoot at iso 1600, no thanks, im not spending $2400 just to have to use iso1600.
>>4488580Yeah just get a 4800ws flash pack and some strobes.
>>4488581yeah with my 400 watt strobes I can put them approx 3-4 meters away, iso100, 1/200 f8 and they are only on like 3/10 power level and have a double diffusion softbox on them.I was not expecting them to be so absurdly more powerful than the expensive continuous lights.
>>4488580also the spectrum sucks. flash has nice full spectrum light at a fraction of the cost.constant lighting is for videofags and they're getting rightfully shafted by marketing departments lolvideo was a mistakeget fucked wannabe spielbergsthis is a video hat thread now
>>4488585I like this artwork
>>4488588it's called "Autobahn auf Lachi"
>>4488628Can you get me one of the Ausfahrt signs plz
>>4488580welcome to the video world, enjoy your stay
>>4488580Did you need a YouTube video to tell you this?
>>4488580Anon, do you realize how retarded shooting at f/16 equivalent is in most circumstances?Also what's the deal with this IQ-test-like captcha?
>>4488585>this is a video hat thread nowFor me, it's David Lynch.
>>4488580LED in general is fucking nightmarish. The sharply directional nature of them makes it really hard for me to balance portraits and light things in a soft and pleasing way. Its so easy to make someone look sick or have a fucked up skin tone. I do a lot of concert photography and in smaller places i get filtered fucking hard with the fixtures and just shoot in b/w so i can worry less about blue/red/purples fucking my shit up as much. Incandescent feels like easy mode comparatively. Even my drunken snapshits in my basement come out better than im able to get in one or two venues. I know its a skill/semi gear issue but i find it magnitudes easier to just move some floor/table lamps that i put dimmers on around until i get what i want.
