Continuous, since I'm still learning and I also do videos. I think a continuous light is a better purchase for a beginner like me that also does videos.
I think the major advantage of strobes over continuous lights is more power in one burst. You can set your ISO as low as possible (60-100 ISO for less grain) and get a polished photograph. Most LED lights are not very strong and so you have to set the ISO very high (800+).
There are some very strong continues light available nowadays, like the Aputure 600. But raising the output on continues light is also a big downside for photography, because it will be very hard on the models eyes.
I shoot photo and video. The subject feel very warm if he is exposed to continuous light for too long, so much so that it can be very comfortable. Also, it's bad for the subject's eyes.
When you think about it tho continuous lighting is nice for photography and video while you can only use strobe for photos. Shooting strobe photos during the day is a nice plus but if I were to only pick 1 I’d pick continuous for the versatility
@@Chris-ey7zy lmao I mean you can most definitely daytime was just the first thing that came to mind because I like shooting more during the day than at night personally 😂
I learnt alot, I have been contemplating on buying continuous light for photography. I have strobe light, I will make use of those for photography and get led for videography
lol that pause on the camera showing iso 100 and shutter at 1/250. who uses f1,.4 in a studio setting regularly, wonder if the lights could handle freezing motion at a max of f2.8 and iso 100. wonder what a product photo would like like at f11!
Fof indoor shoots i use traditional tungston lights. These work well from 250 to 750 what lamps bulbs if you must. To reduce the power, just put in a lower wattage lamp.
I work professionally in video and photography and there is no way I would use continuous light for portraits etc. Anyone can see by this model that even after the light is used it needs a flash to give that look, and what do you do about that colour cast on the white background? That needs flash as well. Theres no other way to get that background white.
I’d say strobe all the way (unless you do video) We also live in the digital age and can take as many test shots as we want to get the perfect composition. Thanks for the video 👍
For a self portrait studio a continuous light would be effective as what you see is what you get in terms of lighting. It's easy to use and no triggers necessary. Lots of photobooths however a using a studio flash strobe such as the Godox MS300-V
Thinking about the 400ad godox. Is the hybrid you mentioned in the video have a option to be powered by battery? Also would it be just as or more powerful than the 400ad?
Hello. This is probably a very basic question, but in order to have a good focus when shooting with strobes, what kind of base light do you recommend? Thank you
New to photography and i have a birthday party in a ranch and its super dark. Is it possible to use a flash and a light at the same time. Will it mKe a difference.
Is a Godox ML60 on a Godox diffusion dome enough for both, portrait photographs and as a video fill light in low light situations like an evening event?
The ML60 would be perfect for a video fill light in low light however for portrait definitely not as much light as a flash. If you have a camera that operates well in low light or are in a controlled studio environment it should work ok as a cropped shot portrait photography light.
Why LED is a little blur at the thing's edge? but Flash light doesn't have that blur, thant means Flash is much clear than LED. the Aperture is same(F4), the shutspeed is high like 120-160(not same), iso is different.
I can’t explain it technically but basically any continuous light, even the bulbs in your house flicker at a certain speed. It is imperceptible to the natural eye in most cases. When you raise the shutter speed on your camera you’re shooting so fast that it catches the flicker. So you may have black lines or spots running across your image. With a strobe you are able to sync the shutter speed to the flash, while which the continuous light you are not able to sync your shutter speed to the pulsating/flickering light, which forces you to shoot at a slower shutter speed that won’t pick up on the flicker.
Could you/someone briefly explain to me what "bowens mounts" are and how they factor into what strobes/softboxes to buy for starters. I'm lost on how to buy mine and it's my first studio set up. Help please.
I don’t know if you still need help or not, but from I know about Bowens mounts and are that they are the most common kind of mount for most softboxes. Most of the softboxes and lights I have use Bowens Mount
