Cheap Photography Lighting Kits
How does photography external lighting work?
I have a canon powershot sx10 and i am looking to create a cheap beginner home studio. I’m wondering what will I need (lights, umbrellas, etc) and when I take a picture how does the external flash work? Is it attached to the camera itself via a cord? Or is the flash triggered when I take a picture? I’m not talking about the flash on the camera, I’m talking about the lamps. I’ve been photographing all my life but never used ‘professional’ lighting kits before and am interested in learning to use them.
To really learn how to light, you may want to take a page from Brooks Institute of Photography and start out using incandescent lights. With 500 watt or better incandescent lamps, you can actually see what happens to the subject when you move the lights position even just a few inches.
Learning how to use lighting is perhaps the next most important thing after learning how to use a light meter to choose the cameras exposure.
With the Canon SX10, you can place it on a tripod and with its white balance set to incandescent, do some lighting tests using one key lamp and a reflector as fill, one key lamp and a second as fill and see the difference as you move the reflector and/or light to different positions around the subject.
If you will allow me to send you email, I can send you some links that show you what I mean.
