Best light bulbs for DIY studio lighting?

February 15th, 2012

Posted by admin in DIY Tutorial | 2 Comments »

ive seen a bunch of DIY Tutorials on youtube about How to make your own softbox and umbrella im just wondering which bulbs should i get for diy photography lighting?

Standard screw in incandescent light bulbs have 1 basic glaring fault.. Heat, and a lot of it..
.
Anything over 200 watts will now start needing screw in bases made for a LOT of heat. Many standard light bulb bases won’t cut it here for very long before melting or burning.
.
Another very serious item to deal with is the wiring of the place your going to set these lights up at.
.
Houses may not handle a extra 1000 to 2000 watts of power draw to 1 room or circuit. Older homes especially. Be careful here. Wires inside the walls can over heat or connections in the walls can start to sputter and arc. For ease and speed of construction, many outlets use push in connections on the wires from box to box. These have been known to arc and burn when watt or amp draw is too much. I know. Been there. Experienced it.
.
To be safe you may want to pull each and every box out a bit and look at how the wires are connected to the plugs. Most plugs have screws on the side to screw the wires down, tight. Use them..! However, you still have to make sure the house wiring can handle the watts of these big lights.
.
Photo studio bulbs run from a "low" of 250 watts to up and well over 1500 watts – EACH.. The heat and power draw they have can be too much for many places.
.
Now, idea..!!
.
It will cost more but less power AND heat, but use "cold lights" now out for photography and video work, or make banks of them your self. These 100W high output florescent curled up tubes that screw into a standard base, when banked up in groups of 5 or more, can put out a LOT of light, soft light too, with almost no heat and maybe using 100 to 130 watts of power (but giving off the light of 500)..
.
For 1 person head and shoulder shooting, 2 or 3 of these kind of bulbs in a clamp on reflector from ACE or Home Depot can get you going in 45 minutes. Keep the bulbs the same make and watts and have no other lights in the "studio" as you shoot. Your camera’s auto white light ability will color correct and give you pleasant looking photos as you hone your skill, ability and knowledge. You don’t need to pay out $100′s of bucks to make great images..

Are there any tutorials out there for DIY headshots?

February 14th, 2012

Posted by admin in DIY Tutorial | 1 Comment »

Wanting to start auditioning for local community theater productions, but don’t have the cash for professional headshots right now. Auditions are starting to take place for the upcoming season, so I’d like to try to take my own. Know of any good websites with tutorials on headshots?

Don’t know if this is the wisest route. Because your pictures will look like you took it yourself. Most community theatres will be forgiving if you do no not have a professional headshot. You can have a friend snap a picture of you, or you can search for a beginner photographer who is willing to shoot you for TFP (time for print) Meaning they get to practice, and as a result you get copies of the pictures. Make sure you bring a friend to the shoot if it is with someone you don’t know.
