Well, as my studio strobes are in transit, and I had a shoot booked for this Sunday... I used what was available at the site I was shooting at. Thoughts? Setup:  Result:  Nov 19 07 04:49 pm Link Hard to tell. Mind posting the original untouched image? Nov 19 07 05:37 pm Link my setup is more ghetto , i don't even diffuse the two 500 watt hot lights i use . Nov 19 07 05:39 pm Link I work with a photographer who refuses to invest in photography lighting because he says his contruction worklights are just as good. I was hesitant at first, but after seeing the images he can produce I would have to agree... he rocked those construction lights. It looks like you did also.  Nice shot.Nov 19 07 05:40 pm Link Mixed lights are usuallly a problem but your result looks good Yeah, the original image would be helpful tho Nov 19 07 05:41 pm Link Ched wrote: I'll do so tonight. All I did was darken the brick, and a tiny bit of USM. Nov 19 07 05:42 pm Link did you boost your iso or shoot on a tripod at like 1/10th of a second? Nov 19 07 05:42 pm Link Ghetto lighting is not bad, you just need to know how to work with it to get the result you are looking for. I usually work with 2 strategically placed floods.

These are daylight tuned energy saver lights unlike the construction lights which give off a lot of heat. They work great and they're simple for some indoor photography, though much of my work is based in natural lighting. In my humble opinion, its about creativity and being resourceful in terms of what you are trying to achieve. Whether you have a state-of-the-art studio or just a handful of bare necessity, the bottomline is a the final result. "The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it."

It isn't the equipment, it is the talent, that makes a photographer! Nov 19 07 06:44 pm Link Your "ghetto" lighting system would be an upgrade for me... Nov 19 07 06:46 pm Link Kudos to your ingenuity and creativity... neither of which money can buy Nov 19 07 06:48 pm Link Hot Chili Photography wrote: Oh you had a strobe.. I thought only hot lights.. either way it looks sharp Nov 19 07 06:51 pm Link I think it looks pretty.It's different Save the technique for ALT shoots. Nov 19 07 06:52 pm Link I concur, Great use of limited equipment! Nov 19 07 07:22 pm Link The photo came out great. I think it says alot about your ability to work under those circumstances to produce an amazing glamour shot. You rock. Nov 19 07 08:15 pm Link ghetto!!!! whats ghetto about a speedlight? beer bottles , shop lights, medicine cabinet mirrors and cupcoverings from burger king . thats ghetto son. Nov 19 07 10:38 pm Link haha....ah, ghetto lights. I use construction lights too! I can't afford to buy the pro stuff but so far I think I'm doing well. of course I can't wait to get better equipment. Nov 19 07 11:13 pm Link Dr Lion wrote: OMG, your his father?!?!?!?!

Nov 19 07 11:40 pm Link btw no one in the ghetto says ghetto anymore. the proper term is the Hood. or "thats hood. " "my fam is hood" "this dro is hood" ("dro" is hood talk for bud) lol Nov 19 07 11:42 pm Link please change the name of the thread. or my friend from the hood will take offense. like calling a salvadorian a mexican or an armenian a turk Nov 19 07 11:44 pm Link PAGalleria wrote: I'm probably going to build a set up using energy saver lights and homemade softboxes & diffusers until I can save money for a real set up...
