Playing with video light
By Paul | March 30, 2008
I recently purchased a set of video lights and decided to play a little bit with them. My wife Ania attended a photo workshop in Vegas few weeks ago where super talented John Michael Cooper was demonstrating this interesting technique. I have to admit I didn’t give it enough time, but I promise to experiment with it sometime in the near future.
I asked girls to go to the darkest corner of our kitchen. I turned the video light on (position: left side of the camera, slightly up), bumped the sensor sensitivity to ISO1600, set aperture at 2.5, shutter speed 1/160th (to get some grain in the file) and fired. I liked the result a lot. Nice, quite clean looking file. I did some slight color temperature adjustment in Lightroom (since I didn’t do a custom white balance before taking a shot) and applied basic B&W conversion with a little chocolate tone. Viola!
