I like it! Please subscribe to my channel for more cool tips & videos.
So you’re trying to make yourself look like an evil photographer? wow
I tried it out in a quasi-experiment and came to the obvious conclusion that the less power or the higher the f-stop, the darker the color – red vs. pink. I made a vid demonstrating this and posted it as a video reponse, else it is on my channel.
a darker colour…….. are two different things. colour (ie red to blue) darker /lighter is on the tone scale (more white more black) if you want a red to be more red i would say use more red, if you want it to be darker then less power….
not too sure
try it out yourself and send me the answer!
Exactly my question – which is it that makes a darker color in the photo; less power or stacking gels? – or are these the same thing?
are you asking darker (ie less power) or stronger colour (more gel filters)
How would you make the gel’s light a darker color? – decreasing the flash’s output?
Dom just a quick question.. in the description you said nikon d300 or Fuji s5pro… are they the same? sorry for the dumb question..
I used to own a fuji s5 pro
but i got shot of it because most of my
shots had a blue cast to them it was a knightmare.great video though dom
its gave me some ideas.kind regards
Thanks for the great ideas Dom. I am into extreme light painting or rather taking it to bigger objects… I am (as far as I know, the first and only person to light pain Durdle Dor in Dorset!.
Interesting one this, Going back to Spaded’s question, I looked up the SB800 on Amazon and it is more expensive than an SB900? What on earth is going on…
Cheers..
Sounds-and-images.
ooh good question. if i were you i would go with the sb600 but if you get any jobs and money coming in then save up for the sb900
Good point, I just didn’t think of that…doh.
Nice idea, would work better at night I think with just the light from the fridge.
