Martin M. Kloeckener Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hello! Sorry for this dumb question, but what is a book light and when and why do you use it? I often read about it in this forums, but I have no idea how it looks and works. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akos Baranya Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Here is a good example for a book light at around 5:40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 That example is a little confusing, as the lamp is incorrectly placed, and they have multiple layers of diffusion on the frame. Simply put, a book light is a lamp bounced off a frame or beadboard and then put through another frame of diffusion. The two frames meet on one edge, resembling a book. Janusz Kaminiski's "7 Minute Drill" is a 12x12 frame of Ultrabounce and a 12x12 frame of 1/2 soft frost, usually with something like a 12 light maxi brute as the source.
