  • Ringflash C Experimenting with and Without Shadow
    Ringflash C Experimenting with www.broncolor.com and without shadow 2 Ringflash C Ringflash C - Orchestrating reflections and shadows more deliberately and spontaneously. The light of a Ringflash is known for its very uniform – at best slight- ly centre oriented – fill. Honeycomb grids allow the lighting angle to be directed more accurately. As a re- sult, illumination similar to a spot- light is achieved while retaining the typical shadowless characteristics the Ringflash is known for. The angle of the Ringflash C can be adjusted independently from the camera, all- owing more flexibility for directing light to the area where accentuation is desired. 3 Ringflash C Light characteristics When using a Ringflash, the light source is evenly distributed around Make it shine Make and very close to the lens. Light without shadows is the result. With one exception: If a background is not illuminated with additional (natural or artificial) light, shadow contours may appear around the object or model. These shadows are larger when the object is farther Fill in perfectly away from the background. You can see these shadows and the influence of the distance very clearly in the pictures of the chairs (p. 12). Use the Ringflash differently 4 Ringflash C How To – Make it shine In the following photograph the shadow contours cannot be seen be- cause the background is illuminated by natural daylight. A Ringflash is a very hard light. This is why shiny materials take on a beau- tiful glow. In this shot, the Ringflash C makes silk look like silk (Softer or even diffused light might make silk look like cotton.) As mentioned earlier, the light of a Ringflash comes from very close to the optical axis.

  • Lighting for Video
    Lighting For Video Video lights are divided into two main categories: bare bulb or fresnel (pronounced "fruh-NEL"). The bare bulb light is pretty straightforward -- a light bulb surrounded by a reflector. Also referred to as open face or open light, these lights use the reflector to focus the light's rays. All open face lights have uneven lighting, though higher-end versions mitigate the effect somewhat. Fresnels, on the other hand, use a lens as the primary focus mechanism. They produce intense, focused light and usually have a longer reach than their open face cousins. Video lights are usually known by the types of bulbs they use, and there are quite a few different types, so be forewarned! Here's a quick rundown: Incandescent: Most household lamps contain this type of bulb. The home variety is usually very warm (around 2900K), but you can purchase professional incandescent bulbs at cooler temperatures. These types of bulbs are known as photoflood. When you use these lights, your initial investment is very low, but unfortunately, they rarely last very long. Tungsten-Halogen: These little bulbs are smaller & more efficient than incandescent, but they're also more expensive! Sometimes referred to as quartz bulbs, they're normally rated at 3200K. Lights in this category include Arri's Arrilite 600-Watt Focusing Flood or Smith-Victor's 600-Watt Open Faced Tungsten. Fluorescent: Regular fluorescent bulbs, such as those found in an office, produce greenish light and are hard to match with daylight or tungsten. But professional fluorescents do exist. Fluorescents have a very long life, produce soft light & generate virtually no heat.
