Joe Taylor Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Going to be shooting an extensive sequence using a Sony A7s II next Friday under direct full moonlight. A reverse angle will have a character situated in a small pocket/cove that is about 5' back. I want to simulate the moonlight using an LED. Does anybody know what combination of gelling one might need to simulate this effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Motel Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I did some tests yesterday with a D810 and a Tecpro Daylight LED (use those, they are much brighter as the ones whose white balance you can change). While I like the quality of light it gives off and is also able to work off of V-Mount batteries, it only gave me 1/50s at f1.4 and ISO 4000 (don't do that on a D810, ever...). I didn't use any gels as moonlight is pretty much the same color as daylight (just sunlight bounced off a neutral grey surface = the moon).
