This week we looked into making our own
cheap light modifiers. We used a piece of flyway and folded it into a rectangle
and we taped it together and onto the flashgun. It worked well and only took a
minute or to. It worked just like a normal one but its cheaper. We looked into
tilt and shift on photoshop which is where you can change the focus of an
image. So you can do diagnol lines in focus and blur out the rest. We were
looking into tilt and shift lenses which cost an awful ot but seem interesting.
We looked into the advantages and disadvantages of studio lighting and
speedlights. Basically the speedlights can stay cool however studuio flash can
get really hot. There is no wires on speedlights like there is on studio lighting
plus speedlights are small meaning they are more portable. However studio flash
has a fast recycle time which is good for quick photoshoots. Speedlights have
slave modes built in which is really handy when on location. With a speedlight
it is much safer as it wont fall over and hit someone light big bulky studio
lights can. Another issue with speedlights is that they take up a lot of
batterys which over time could be quite a cost so you always need to carry
spares around with you incase the ones you are using go dead. We also figured
out about different sized soft boxes and how it doesn’t really mean it changes
the scale of the light, it just changes the softness.
