So there was a typo, I meant I have 2* 1200d aputure. But I can swap them for something else if it’s not going to work for this. I am not creating the look of the second image it’s just a reference of how they’ll be seated. The top image is only the look I’m trying to create. Not sure if 12x12 from above would be enough for 8 people, I haven’t used it before or maybe a double 8x8.

Trying to get this look shooting wide and close ups of 8 people in a studio. I have 2* Aputure 120d and 2* Nova p600c available with 2* 8x8 and 4by frames. I still have the option to modify equipment but it’s a small budget. They’re all going to be seated and facing the camera like the 3 girls in the middle.

Hi guys. I’m shooting a blue hour look around when the sun is close to the horizon, with a 6 stop ND in front of the lens, I have a 5k tungsten and in case I’m not able to power that due to location limitations, I have 1 aputure 1200d. Will any of this two lights through an 8x8 half grid be enough to expose the talent to at least 2 stop under normal exposure in a wide shot.

Is there any reason why one actor is keyed with orange and the other with red? Or is it only because of the sharpness?

Is the space and key lit with tungsten gelled light sources?

What difference did it make compared to using red alone?

You mixed the red and yellow gel?

How do one achieve deep saturated hues like this?

Oh yes yes, I'm actually aware of this, David, i red your old posts about the size of the source relative to the subject. That was the first time I began to understand softness. Maybe I didn't put my question right. So for example I'm shooting a light through a 4x4 250 that is 6' from the subject and I want more softness than what the 250 is giving me without increasing the diffusion size, so instead I add an extra 250 right on the first one or swap the 250 for a 216 wouldn't it then fill the diffusion more than a single 250 that has a hotspot in the middle hence making it softer?

You’re the first person am hearing this from, why do you say so?

Hey guys, still fairly new to lighting. Lets say I have two 250s diffusion stitched or placed together will I lose the same stop of light and get the same light quality as a 216? Or two lite grids to get full grid cloth? I assume two lite grids would be softer than a full grid.

I believe so, and also I think it’s getting them look somewhat close and not look drastically different to the eyes.

Which ways can one maintain contrast ratio for master and close up for continuity?

what about the ones that uses low iso like ISO 400-500 it seems they light their scene brighter and then compensate with 2 stops of ND, this is actually what I see the most by many pro DPs

I was given the 3rd edition 2016, will I be missing a lot in the 4th edition?
