Be sure to check out the full article on the blog where you can see the side by side images of both lights with dSLR's for a better comparison. FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHTING THAT IS STUNNING AND CHEAP weeattogether.com/6747/food-photography-lighting-setup-cheap/

@fishy1knobe1 6 лет назад

Awesome video and tuts..your content is always spot on! I have a non foodie video question. The non photography lighting on your wall above the lens shelf...is that custom work? I am looking for that sort of lighting to put in my office. Thanks!!

We Eat Together hey, what size soft box did you use on your strobe?

@shylady8711 6 лет назад

We Eat Together thanks for this hack. Ill try this sometime. I wonder if you could try using flashlight next time

@davidsaso1234 4 года назад

We're here for the light, should have used the same exact gear for both photos except for the light source of course.

@wongwu 2 года назад

This has to be the dumbest comparison I've ever seen. Why would you say you're comparing a light and then use completely different equipment for both shots?

@dentReviews Год назад

@@wongwu he could do a light only comparison for sure, but i think the point was that you can use cheap lighting gear as a whole and get decently close to pro gear...

@gemac2000 3 года назад

Same here. It’s seems like the flood light with a diffuser attached will be almost as solid as the aperture lights. Great vid I just needed a way to control my flood light. Those flood light lit up a dark club scene which with color grading came out great but my clients had to get accustomed to the brightness thanks.

@radomirlilic2472 6 лет назад

Hey I used work lights with parchment paper 30 years ago when I was shooting film... I am glad that in the era of digital cameras some people still use it. I had at least 10-15 of those installed in my house and to expand even further I had barn doors on some of them which were painted matte black to direct lights were I wanted them. That's how I started shooting portraits on the budget and once I have set all settings on my camera (film body) I never moved that body out of studio, just to make sure that I do not mess my settings. Nice take on that!

@taz24787 5 лет назад

GREAT Video! Most likely the difference was in the camera's Dynamic Range and Color Depth, besides the MUCH better piece of Glass, having much better MicroContrast. So, there's little to no difference between the lights. But the transport convenience.

@darkcashyz 5 лет назад

You really encourage me to go harder with everything I already have. I usually crave for better gears and I lost some money to things that I don't really use. Thank you for making all these useful videos, I'm sure it helps people like me and many others to save more than a million $. You did a great deed to the world, my friend!

@JimDurfee 6 лет назад

LOL, I use 2 of these in my livingroom near my desk to do my youtube videos (and for some photography) I got the LED versions though at Home Depot for I think 29.95 each because they don't get so hot and the light seems a bit better than the hot bulb types!

Man you should make a budget top down set up for a DSLR/ mirrorless, I've searched and can't find a solution for under $50. Love your videos, keep it up.

@skylerburtphotos 6 лет назад

That sounds like a good idea, although for under $50, I don't know. A single light stand usually cost more. However, it can be done if you make it out of wood, use a saw and drill it the ceiling. I have a plan for that, but I'm not sure if that would work for the average joe
